EU-UK talks have reportedly made significant progress, with a breakthrough ahead of a key summit set to reshape the UK-EU relationship five years post-Brexit. The discussions tackled contentious issues such as fishing rights and youth mobility. Following prolonged disputes, a potential agreement could symbolize a fresh start after Brexit's animosities. However, the UK government's premature press announcement about the summit caused some tension with EU representatives, reaffirming the notion that nothing is finalized without comprehensive consensus among the parties involved.
The talks were aimed at striking a deal to be signed at the summit, resolving long-standing issues like fishing rights and a youth mobility scheme.
An agreement would mark a symbolic step in turning the page on the animosity that followed Britain's exit from the bloc in January 2020.
There was a late breakthrough last night in talks between two sides to secure a landmark deal, but there are still some steps to take.
No 10's decision to issue a press statement presenting the summit as a done deal caused irritation in Brussels, reminding many of the mantra: Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
