Michel Barnier met Steve Barclay in Brussels today.
Michel Barnier stressed that it is essential that there is a fully operational solution in the Withdrawal Agreement to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland, protect the all-island economy and the integrity of the Single Market.
The EU remains open and willing to examine any workable and legally operative proposals that meet all these objectives.
