BRUSSELS: The EU and Britain launch an intense five weeks of negotiations on a deal to define their post-Brexit relations on Monday , with London keen to wrap things up quickly.
But tempers have flared in recent days and Johnson insisted on Saturday that Britain will accept the consequences of no deal if common ground cannot be found. Without a new agreement, the two sides would see ties reduced to minimum standards set by the World Trade Organization with high tariffs and serious disruptions to business.
"The faster we can reach an agreement, the better - and there's no clear reason why the broad outline of a political agreement can't be reached in the summer," a Number 10 source told AFP.The format of talks on Monday will be more streamlined than the first rounds, which involved hundreds of civil servants fanned out into separate sessions on various topics.
The discussions will begin with a meeting between the two men at 0800 GMT and will continue throughout the week with short sessions on the most problematic topics.
