EU’s Verhofstadt: UK-EU trade deal will not be agreed before Brexit day

The UK’s Telegraph reports the weekend’s comments from the European (EU) Parliament’s Chief Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt on the EU-UK trade deal.

Key Headlines:

The UK's Brexit trade deal with the EU will not be finalized before exit day.

Instead, there will be an "annex" inside the withdrawal agreement which will set out what a future relationship might look like, to be thrashed out during the transitional period while current rules remain in place.

The right of EU citizens to move freely must remain throughout the interim period.
