EU trade chief says UK deal will take 'couple of years'
By EUobserver
EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem said Thursday the UK will be at the end of the queue to negotiate a post-Brexit trade deal. "We are negotiating 15-16 trade deals at the moment so we are busy," she said at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "It's hard to say. It takes a couple of years depending on what they want," Malmstroem noted.
