EU UK trade talks edge toward year end deadline
Barnier warned the EU must preserve its right to react and offset losses as the U K depends heavily on exports to the bloc. The European Parliament gave negotiators a three day deadline to present a deal to allow ratification this year, with potential passage in 2021 if delayed. A deal removes tariffs and quotas but imposes customs costs and non tariff barriers. Britain’s Parliament also must approve, with a Christmas break complicating timing. If talks fail, both sides face economic disruption though the UK may bear a larger near term impact due to its greater EU reliance.
