Two issues behind last-minute negotiations in post-Brexit reset deal
- UK and EU officials are in final negotiations for a post-Brexit reset deal, with disagreements on European access to British fishing waters and the flexibility of the UK’s youth mobility scheme posing last-minute obstacles.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer will unveil the deal details alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa on Monday.
- A potential breakthrough allows British travellers to use EU passport queues and e-gates, reducing wait times.
- The deal aims to improve UK-EU relations, focusing on areas like food standards and carbon trading schemes.
- The two controversial issues, like EU access to British fishing waters and the UK's youth mobility scheme, remain sticking points.
