'I hope the British public see how practical it is,' EU Trade Commissioner says about EU-UK deal

The EU Trade Commissioner Maros Šefčovič says he hopes the British public have a pragmatic view of the recent EU-UK deal covering trade, defence and fishing.

The first ever EU-UK summit was “an important step forward” in repairing relations between the two sides after almost of a decade of bitterness and mistrust following the referendum which saw the UK withdraw from the EU in 2020.
