The review from the EU chief negotiator

  • Statement on citizen's rights was a step forward but must be translated into precise negotiating position
  • EU prepared to discuss what May means by no other states losing out financially due to Brexit
  • Sooner we agree on orderly exit, the sooner we can discuss the future relationship
  • Will continue to insist on sufficient progress in the key areas of the orderly withdrawal before opening talks on the future relationship
  • May's speech showed 'willingness to move forward"
  • Full statement

Positive review overall but the pound is still around the lows of the day at 1.3510
