Ursula Von Der Leyen Said Brexit is Progressing Well

 The chairman of the European Commission says that the major issues are playgrounds and fisheries

Trade and security talks between Britain and the European Union are making good progress, Ursula Von Der Leyen said in the most optimistic comments on the status of Brexit negotiations.

As negotiations moved to Brussels after seven days in London, the European Commission chairman said: "We are making good progress but there are two important issues: the level of the playground and fisheries, where we would like to see more Progress.

"We are in very close contact on an hourly basis because now negotiations have intensified there are 11 other file fields that have to be negotiated." Downing Street said last week that the talks were over.

The outstanding issues are the level of access to British waters that Britain will provide, including the EU fishing fleet, fair competition rules for trade, rules on domestic subsidies, and mechanisms in final treaties to resolve future disputes.

Von der Leyen, speaking after a meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said negotiators would work deeply on the issue of how to build a dispute mechanism that would allow both sides to negotiate parts of the deal in the event of a deal. Will allow being suspended. Clear breach of obligations.

The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, said that the status of the talks would be evaluated next week with Brussels, which is expected to begin the ratification process in mid-November. Comments will be warmly welcomed by Boris Johnson after a few weeks of stormy.

Trudeau also spoke positively about rolling over the current terms of the trade agreement, with Canada joining the European Union to ensure that the UK continues to benefit after the transition period. Under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the European Union and Canada, 95% of covered imports are tariff and quota-free.

Trudeau said: "There have been many discussions over the years between me and Prime Minister Johnson over a rollover of CETA between Canada and the European Union to become the basis for Canada and Britain's free trade." There is the agreement that will allow for certainty for Canadian and British companies in the future.

"I think you have heard that Britain has significant complications in terms of negotiating the Brexit Agreement with the European Union. I can highlight that it is straightforward with Canada and we can certainly ease things up. Are very optimistic in their ability to roll over. "
