Comments by France's European affairs minister, Amélie de Montchalin
- We do not accept time pressure
- We cannot let level of ambition be impacted by 'artificial' deadlines
- Substance is more important than any deadline
- Shortening the deadline is UK's choice but not the EU's
A lovely start ahead of talks next week I see. Expect Brexit headlines to start moving the pound around again over the next few months. All aboard now.
