Spiegel: A storm brewing in Brussels

14 September 2017

Frustration about the Brexit negotiations seems to building in Brussels, as several EU officials and MEPs complain that the UK's negotiators still don't seem to understand the position of the remaining 27 Member States, and that there's a chance there will be no deal at all.

Meanwhile in the UK, pro-Brexit press writes that it's rather the EU's fault that negotiations are not advancing. The Sun even attempts to publish an article in German - full of language mistakes, as Spiegel remarks - arguing that with the support of the German industry, it should be Merkel and Macron to ensure that the negotiations lead to a concrete outcome.

The article in German: EU fürchtet britischen Realitätsverlust
