Prime Minister also indicates that extra fishing rights may be part of the discussions
The Prime Minister promised to “make Brexit work” as he agreed, in talks with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, to strengthen co-operation on the economy and security which has withered since Brexit.
Youth mobility, which would make migration between Britain and the EU easier for under-30s, is understood to be a key early demand from Brussels if Sir Keir wants to unlock talks on a veterinary agreement to ease cross-border food trade. However, the UK Government is reluctant to agree to anything that would add to net migration, which it has promised to reduce.
The two leaders agreed to move forward “at pace” on building closer ties in “mutually beneficial” areas such as “the economy, energy, security and resilience, in full respect of their internal procedures and institutional prerogatives”.
