UK and EU Brexit talks to resume mid-August
By EUobserver
EU and UK negotiators agreed to resume Brexit talks in mid-August in an attempt to agree the withdrawal deal by October, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier said after he met Thursday with UK Brexit secretary Dominic Raab. Barnier said the UK would present new customs proposals to break the impasse on the Irish border. Barnier, however, rejected the UK plan to collect tariffs on behalf of the EU after Brexit.
