The EU also wants the negotiations to “be conducted in a way that ensures parallelism among the various sectoral tracks of the negotiation.” This means that it will be looking to address different areas at the same time. The UK government also said Thursday that it will be looking to address all areas in parallel. The UK wants to speed up the process and have a “broad outline of an agreement” by June. “Negotiations will be complicated. I really hope we will manage to reach an agreement with the U.K. by the end of the year,” Stef Block, the Dutch minister for foreign affairs, said Tuesday in Brussels.
