'Very serious divergences remain' in EU-UK talks - RTE

Michel Barnier has said "very serious divergences" remain between the European Union and UK as efforts continue to strike a post-Brexit trade deal.

The EU's chief negotiator said the main stumbling blocks remained the "level playing field" aimed at preventing unfair competition on areas including state subsidies, fisheries policy and the governance of any deal.

Mr Barnier updated MEPs and EU diplomats on the status of the negotiations with his UK counterpart David Frost, which have been taking place in Brussels.

He said: "Despite EU efforts to find solutions, very serious divergences remain in level playing field, governance and fisheries.

"These are essential conditions for any economic partnership."
