EU's Šefčovič on Brexit: We will probably not be able to resolve everything before year-end

"I think that if there was the clear political will from the UK side these problems could be solved," said European Commission's Brexit point person Maroš Šefčovič during an interview with Politico on Tuesday.

The EU diplomat adds, per Politico, "But looking at how far we progressed over the last four weeks, the level of detail our U.K. partners want to discuss, I know that we will probably not be able to resolve everything before the end of the year."

Additional quotes

Šefčovič stressed that he was hoping the UK and the EU could still make ‘decisive progress this week’ on the issue of medicines trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which would ‘generate positive momentum’ for the rest of the talks.

Medicines are a pressing issue as a grace period for border checks and regulatory approvals for drugs expires at the end of the year. Although the U.K. decided to unilaterally extend that grace period, there is a risk of uncertainty and trade disturbance for medicines if both sides don't reach a deal before the end of January.

However, Šefčovič warned that the de facto deadline for reaching a deal was actually this week because the EU will need a few weeks to implement any potential solution.

He said the Commission would "most probably" have to launch the necessary internal approval procedures by next week, suggesting that the window of opportunity for striking a medicines deal was likely closing this week.

Market reaction

Given the mixed concerns portrayed in the interview speech, GBP/USD holds on to the corrective pullback from the yearly low, around 1.3380 by the press time, following the news.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
