BRUSSELS, Dec. 4-- Despite continuous efforts and growing common grounds of Britain and the European Union (EU), it was not possible to reach a complete agreement Monday, said EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in a hastily arranged press conference with visiting British Prime Minister Theresa May. "This is not a failure. This is the start of the very last," he added, extending EU's deadline by pledging to resume their talks later this week. Calling May as a tough negotiator in his 2-minute briefing, Juncker said he is confident that sufficient progress could be reached before the EU summit slated for Dec. 15. |
