BRUSSELS, Oct 17 (KUNA) -- French President Emmanuel Macron Wednesday underlined that a Brexit deal with the UK is necessary for the future EU-UK relationship.
"I have a double message of trust and urgency. Trust because progress has been made, we can see the collective willingness to move forward but we are not there yet," he told reporters ahead of an EU summit on Brexit in Brussels this evening.
"Now is the time to decide. I believe we urgently need to reach an agreement about the exit deal which is indispensable for our future relationship. It is a step expected in the coming days and weeks," he added. (end) nk.ibi
