He Said the EU chief negotiator, Michel Barnier , had stated, progress can be made to topics such as fisheries, and state aid. but some EU member States already had a "little more cautious".

"I think it would be in everyone's best interest, the EU member States, The Commission and, of course, the British government, when Michel Barnier were in the situation, the flexibility that he has provided, to secure in The Past , in order, an arrangement that would be in everyone's interest," he told MPs.
