Remarks By Michel Barnier, The European Commission's Chief Negotiator, At The Press Conference On The Joint Report From The Negotiators Of The European Union And The United Kingdom Government

Date 08/12/2017

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning,

Let me thank David Davis who had to travel back to London with the Prime Minister Theresa May.

Today, after six months of work, we have published a joint report which lists our points of agreement so far.

• This document is detailed and precise.
• I have always said that we wanted to be fully transparent to citizens and taxpayers. We need to be accountable, at every stage of the negotiations.
• If the European Council agrees, and following the European Parliament's resolution next week, this document could be the basis for the Withdrawal Agreement.

Let me be clear: there is still work to be done and negotiations on a number of issues, such as the governance of our agreement and Euratom. There are more hurdles to take.
