EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said Monday that Brussels is ready to pursue post-Brexit trade talks on the basis of "legal texts", but is waiting for a response from London. Last week, Britain accused the EU of stalling the talks by failing to draft the precise language of a trade agreement. On Monday, Barnier spoke with his UK counterpart David Frost. "I confirmed that the EU remains available to intensify talks in London this week, on all subjects, and based on legal texts. We now wait for the UK's reaction," he tweeted. zap-dc/pdw/txw
