Re: October 2020 (none / 0)

EU27 chastised for no longer working "intensively" at ~~satisfying UK's demands~~ continuing Brexit negotiations.

1/3 Disappointed by the #EUCO conclusions on UK/EU negotiations. Surprised EU is no longer committed to working "intensively" to reach a future partnership as agreed with @vonderleyen on 3 October.

OK, the EU has agreed to `intensify', after all...

EU agrees to `intensify' Brexit talks

The EU has agreed to "intensify" Brexit talks with the U.K. and start negotiations based on legal texts as required by London, following a phone call between the chief negotiators.
Michel Barnier spoke with his British counterpart David Frost by phone on Monday afternoon to agree on the structure for subsequent talks about the future relationship between the U.K. and the EU.
With both sides apparently still keen to put pressure on the other side, Barnier said in a tweet issued after the call that "the EU remains available to intensify talks in London this week, on all subjects, and based on legal texts."

🇪🇺🇬🇧 I just spoke to @DavidGHFrost.

As stated by President @vonderleyen on Friday, I confirmed that the EU remains available to intensify talks in London this week, on all subjects, and based on legal texts.

We now wait for the UK's reaction.
