BRUSSELS (AFP) - British and European Union officials on Wednesday (April 15) agreed to schedule three new rounds of post-Brexit trade talks, starting next week, after the coronavirus epidemic disrupted their negotiating timetable.
A joint statement issued after a call between EU negotiator Michel Barnier and UK counterpart David Frost made no mention of postponing the end of Britain's transition out of the bloc beyond Dec 31.
