German Chancellor Angela #Merkel: "I explicitly want to commend the work done by @MichelBarnier and his team [...] all member states are being involved in the process in an excellent manner, which results in a high level of unity." #SalzburgSummit #EUCO
#Merkel: "It has become clear today that we need substantial progress until October, and that we then aim to finalise everything in November." #SalzburgSummit #EUCO
#Merkel: "On the basis of #Chequers, there are a multitude of commonalities, esp on internal security, international cooperation, and many other issues." #SalzburgSummit #EUCO
#Merkel: "But there are still a number of other issues, e.g. on the future trading relationship. Here we all agreed that there can be no compromises on the matter of the [EU] Single Market. @MichelBarnier will lead negotiations on this basis." #SalzburgSummit #EUCO
#Merkel: "You cannot participate in the Single Market without being a part of it. But other than that, one can develop a lot of creativity to find good, close and pragmatic solution. And here we still have some work to do." #SalzburgSummit #EUCO
