Comments by European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas
- "It takes two to tango" in Brexit negotiations
The usual rhetoric here. Nothing to add to the general Brexit rhetoric at the moment. Once again, do be reminded that the key dates to look out for this month will be 17-18 October as that is when the next EU Summit takes place.
The UK is expected to put forward some proposals on the Irish border/backstop prior to that otherwise the meeting between European leaders is very much going to be an unproductive fixture.
