Britain | EU | Brexit | negotiations London, United Kingdom | AFP | Tuesday 11/1/2017 - 00:36 UTC+8 | 227 words British and EU negotiators will meet in Brussels on Wednesday, November 8 for the latest round of Brexit negotiations, Brexit Minister David Davis told lawmakers on Tuesday, pointing the finger at Brussels for delays. Davis said the officials would meet on Wednesday and Thursday of next week and he would then hold talks with the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier on Friday in a sixth round of negotiations that began in June. "We are not holding up the process," Davis told the House of Lords European Union committee. "I had invited Mr Barnier to come to London tomorrow but he couldn't do it. He had a prior engagement. "We offered them the beginning of next week, they couldn't do that. So it's the latter part of next week when the negotiators engage." Davis said the meetings would the "first stock-take" since a summit in Brussels earlier this month, adding that Britain wanted an "intensification" of talks. European leaders have yet to approve the formal start of talks on post-Brexit trade with Britain, saying there has not yet been enough progress on the divorce issues of money, Ireland and EU citizens' rights. But they agreed at the summit to start internal preparatory work on a possible transition deal for Britain after Brexit, which May has proposed could last around two years, and a future partnership deal.
