Britain’s Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, David Davis, says his country has no plans to walk away from talks despite that there is little hope for progress at this week’s EU summit, APAreports quoting Press TV.
"There are no plans to get up and walk away," Davis told parliament on Tuesday.
He made the remarks after some lawmakers suggested that the negotiations should end in case the two sides cannot reach an agreement.
The EU ministers who are meeting at the weekend have made it clear that London should make concessions in talks which are mostly focused on the UK’s divorce bill from the bloc.
Only if EU leaders approve there has been "sufficient progress" on these three issues would negotiators be allowed to move towards the more complex issue of future trade ties between the EU and Britain.
The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier spoke at a press conference last week at the end of a fifth round of Brexit talks with Davis at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels.
"We are at a deadlock on this question which is extremely disturbing," Barnier said then. “Constructive talks had clarified some points but there had not been any great steps forward on central issues.”
