Talks between the European Union and the United Kingdom on a post-Brexit trade deal are in the end phase , an EU official has said.
With both sides trying to reach an agreement before the end of the transition period next week, sources in Brussels and London have said a Brexit deal could be close.
There were suggestions earlier that an announcement could be made as early as Wednesday evening, but that deadline appears to be slipping.
Britain left the EU at the end of January and entered into an 11-month transition period, following EU rules and regulations whilst trying to negotiate a free trade deal by the end of this year.
