Joint Statement by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson
Met dank overgenomen van Europese Commissie (EC) i, gepubliceerd op maandag 7 december 2020.
As agreed on Saturday, we took stock today of the ongoing negotiations. We agreed that the conditions for finalising an agreement are not there due to the remaining significant differences on three critical issues: level playing field, governance and fisheries.
We asked our Chief Negotiators and their teams to prepare an overview of the remaining differences to be discussed in a physical meeting in Brussels in the coming days.
