French President Emmanuel Macron has told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that the EU could make a decision by the end of the week on the latest Brexit proposals.
The two leaders spoke on the phone on Sunday, where Johnson was urged by the French leader to “engage in discussions swiftly” so that a decision can be made this week about the latest proposals.
However, Downing Street officials said that Johnson told EU leaders over the weekend that this is the final chance to strike a deal, and that the EU must show the same level of compromise that the UK has done.
The PM added that he wants a deal that is acceptable to both sides, claiming that his new proposals had the support of parliament.
Johnson submitted fresh proposals to Brussels last week which called for a replacement to the Irish backstop with a mixture of checks at ports on the Irish Sea and away from the border in Ireland – but the EU says it remains “unconvinced” by the offer.
