we did not get that same confidence from monsieur barnier.working pretty much on the same hymn sheet but it's difficult, knotty stuff. they talk about needing to make sure nothing's done to damage the good friday agreement. the need to preserve freedom of movement and trades which will become a border between the eu and the uk. it is complicated and slow. you mentioned monsieur beenier‘s two quotes. what was the sect one? i might think from what we've said it is all doom and gloom. there was this remark at the end of his prepared statement which sounded a lot less pessimistic. here he is talking about the process as a whole. translation: there is a new momentum. and i remain convinced today that with political will, decisive progress is within our grasp in the next two months. in other words, we may feel like we're bogged down now. but we can fix these problems. the brexit bill, citizens rights, irisher use, by the end of the year. now, clearly, this isa end of the year. now, clearly, this is a frustration for the british side. david davis ma

we would be justified in saying to monsieur barnier, we hear the clock ticking.confident that an implementation period could be agreed, to build a bridge between the old and new arrangements. it makes sense for there to be only one set of changes for both businesses and individuals, and that's why i think the implementation period should be based on the existing structure of eu rules and regulations and, during that time, the uk and eu would continue to have access to one another's markets on current terms, and the uk would take part in existing security measures. any implementation period should be a strictly time—limited period. it should be determined by the length of time needed to implement the new processes and the systems for our future relationship. as the prime minister set out, as of today, these considerations point to an implementation period of around two years. lady goldie. and staying with brexit, the transport secretary, chris grayling has dismissed concerns that flights could be grounded after brexit. mr grayling said it would be very foolish for
