EU and UK make 'decisive step' on Brexit agreement
By EUobserver
The EU and the UK made a 'decisive step' towards an agreement on the UK's exit, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier and Brexit minister Davis Davis said on Monday. They agreed in particular on maintaining citizens' rights during the transition period after Brexit that would end in December 2020. Several issues still need to be discussed, especially the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
