8th round of UK-EU trade talks begin in London on Tuesday

Moscow, Sep 8 (Sputnik) The eighth round of post-Brexit talks between the United Kingdom and the European Union is due to begin on Tuesday in London, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson´s October 15 dateline to reach a free trade agreement pending over the negotiating table like a sword of Damocles.
The round is due to conclude on Thursday, September 10.
"There needs to be an agreement with our European friends by the time of the European Council on 15 October if it’s going to be in force by the end of the year. So there is no sense in thinking about timelines that go beyond that point. If we can’t agree by then, then I do not see that there will be a free trade agreement between us, and we should both accept that and move on," Johnson said on Monday.
