The British Guardian newspaper said that with the Brexit negotiators approaching to reach a settlement on fishing rights but by missing the important deadline for the negotiation, there is a great possibility that Britain will witness weeks without trade arrangements starting from the first of January even if an agreement is reached.
The two negotiating teams, led by Michel Barnier of the European side and British negotiator David Frost, are expected to continue the talks on Monday despite the European Parliament’s notice that it will not vote on an agreement unless it is reached by midnight on Sunday.
A British government source said that the two teams were negotiating throughout the day, and he is expected to continue negotiating Monday, and the talks are still difficult and there are major fatal differences, and we are still exploring all ways to reach an agreement in line with the basic principles that were brought in the negotiations.
Frost met Barnier on Sunday to discuss the latest European proposals on fishing, as the British side presented a set of questions to answer them today, raising hopes of possible progress.
The newspaper emphasized that failure to adhere to the deadline set by the European Parliament means that the European Council ministers who represent the capitals of the bloc may need to apply principally to an agreement since January 1 to avoid an exit without an agreement until the parliament votes later this month.
If the talks went for a longer time in December, there might not be time for European capitals to translate the agreed text and scrutinize it, making Britain emerge from the transition period without new trade and security arrangements.
