EU's Barnier: UK refuses to engage in full conversation on “level playing field”

Commenting on the UK's statement on the round-three of Brexit negotiations, the UK refuses to engage in a full conversation on "level playing field," EU's Chief Brexit Negotiator Michel Barnier said on Friday.

Barnier further noted that they haven't made any progress on governance either. "The third EU-UK negotiating round was disappointing."
