European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker joined the European Union’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, in lashing out at the U.K. for failing to prepare adequately for Brexit talks.“I’ve read all the position papers produced by Her Majesty’s government and none of them is satisfactory,” Juncker said on Tuesday at a conference in Brussels, as talks between the U.K. and the EU resumed. “There is still an enormous amount of issues that remain to be settled.
The stage had already been set for an intense round of negotiations after Barnier and Brexit Secretary David Davis met on Monday for the first time since July and candidly aired their frustration at each other’s approaches. Barnier said time was running out, as the U.K. continued in its bid to change the order of topics discussed.
