Brexit transition deadline in doubt as talks called off
The next round of Brexit negotiations has been cancelled as expectation grows in Brussels and London that the standstill transition period will be extended beyond its December 2020 deadline owing to coronavirus disruption.
In a statement on Tuesday, the British government said: “we will not formally be convening negotiating work strands” on Wednesday as planned, although it intended to publish a draft free trade agreement “in the near future”.
Boris Johnson is publicly committed to winding up the transition period at the end of the year — his government would have to change UK law to extend it — but negotiators on both sides believe a delay is coming.
