British and EU officials will hold their first talks in over seven months this week on the Northern Ireland Protocol, the part of the Brexit deal that governs the trading arrangements of the British province.
European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic tweeted on Friday that he had had a good conversation with British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and that their respective teams would meet soon.
"They both agreed that solutions needed to be found around the protocol. There will be technical-level talks, discussions, exchanges already this week," an EU spokesperson told the Commission daily briefing on Monday.
