http://bit.ly/2es3Bsb The third round of Brexit talks will end on Thursday (31 August) in Brussels, with little progress in sight and no easing of the tension between the EU and UK sides........ The main point of contention remains the financial settlement, while UK negotiators rebuked EU claims for a bill of up to EUR100 billion. On Tuesday, in a 3-hour-long session, the British side presented a legal analysis of the settlement and argued that the EU cannot ask the UK to pay into the EU budget until the end of the current multi-annual budget programme in 2020. UK negotiators, who strongly rejected EU accusations that they are not serious, presented an 11-page analysis.
