Brexit negotiations are picking up pace ahead of a European Union summit this month expected to kick-start three months of talks to decide the U.K.’s future relationship with the bloc. After Theresa May laid out her vision last week, the EU is due to publish its draft position on Wednesday.
The European Parliament’s chief Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt is in London on Tuesday to meet May and Brexit Secretary David Davis, who then gives evidence to Parliament’s Brexit scrutiny committee at 2 p.m. French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire is also in London to meet his counterpart, Chancellor Philip Hammond, and has already warned the U.K. that it can’t expect financial services to be included in a free-trade agreement with the EU.
