The European Union’s Brexit negotiator said on Tuesday any agreement with Britain on their future relationship must respect the bloc’s single market rules, write Robert-Jan Bartunek, Foo Yun Chee and Gabriela Baczynska.

Speaking after holding talks with Brexit secretary Dominic Raab in Brussels on Tuesday (21 August), Barnier said the unprecedented talks were entering the final stage.

“This partnership has to respect the single market and the foundations of the European project, and if this is well understood we can conclude the negotiations successfully,” Barnier told a joint news conference with Raab.

He said a deal with Britain was needed “not much later” than in early November and that the bloc was not working towards a “no-deal” Brexit, though it had to prepare for it.
