Comments by Germany's minister of state for Europe, Michael Roth

Brexit
  • We are at very critical stage in negotiations with the UK
  • We expect substantial progress from the UK on level playing field, fisheries
  • Working very hard for a deal that is acceptable for both sides

Just some token remarks and more posturing as the EU meets for more Brexit talks before we get to the crucial European Council meeting on 15-16 October this week.

So far, we haven't been hearing much rumours or notable headlines on the Brexit front but expect that to pick up more so towards the latter stages of the week.
