Barnier: 80 percent of Brexit deal agreed
By EUobserver
EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York on Tuesday that 80 percent of a Brexit deal has been agreed. "We have coloured in green today more or less 80 percent of the context with the Brits. That means that we agreed on many key issues of this draft treaty," he said. How to avoid a hard border in Ireland remains unsolved.
