Boris Johnson will meet von der Leyen & Barnier, EU says it's NOT the start of trade negotiations

The European Commission has confirmed that EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will travel to London. She will meet UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday in Downing Street.

The European Commission President will be joined by Michel Barnier, EU's chief Brexit negotiator.

EU Commission spokesman Eric Mamer updated international media during a regular news briefing in Brussels today. He said:

“This meeting is taking place at a very specific moment in the phase in which the withdrawal agreement is being ratified in the UK, it’s not taking place at a point of time when the trade negotiations have started.

“The meeting is to discuss holistically the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and to look forward to look forward to the year ahead in all of its dimensions.”
