UK's chief Brexit negotiator Frost: Our assessment is that UK-EU agreement can be reached in September
- We are not looking for a special agreement; we want a deal with at its core a free trade agreement like the one the EU has with Canada
- We are not looking for anything which threatens the integrity of the EU's single market
- UK sovereignty over our laws, courts and fishing waters is not up for discussion; we will not accept anything, which compromises it
Next round of UK-EU negotiations is scheduled for 18-21 August
