Is today the last day of Brexit negotiations?

BBC writes that ”Post-Brexit trade talks have entered their final day with negotiations continuing into the night in a last-ditch effort to make a breakthrough”.

Yes, we all want that breakthrough, we need it. Even though some people don’t seem to realize that the changes with the introduction of customs and border formalities, will appear on Januaty 1st, regardless a deal or no deal.

I don’t agree with the article that the negotiations has to be concluded today. There is a likelihood that the negotiations continues also next week and maybe longer than that.

Both sides have warned they are unlikely to reach an agreement. I am still convinced that there is a gold chance to get a deal.

According to BBC News, the view if the UK Government still is that the terms offered by the European Union continue to be “unacceptable” to the UK.

Boris Johnson is expected to speak with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen later today – they agreed on the Sunday deadline earlier this week.

If the two sides have not come to an agreement, Mr Johnson and Mrs von der Leyen will decide whether to abandon negotiations or continue them beyond the deadline.

The source said: “The prime minister will leave no stone unturned in this process, but he is absolutely clear: any agreement must be fair and respect the fundamental position that the UK will be a sovereign nation in three weeks’ time.”
