Reuters reports comments from an EU diplomat who said that disagreements remain on the same issues in negotiations with Britain, including equal conditions and fisheries:

  • The issue of equal conditions has not been resolved;

  • Britain has not yet put forward adequate proposals on the issue of state aid;

  • Disagreements remain on fisheries issues;

  • It cannot be said that there are hours left before the deal is concluded; we still need to agree on important issues;

  • If some issues remain unresolved, there will be no deal.
