Post-Brexit talks: France warns UK against 'artificial deadlines'

The EU will not be pressurised by "artificial deadlines" in its post-Brexit trade talks with the UK, France's Europe minister has warned.

Amelie de Montchalin said the EU would not sign just "any" deal by the end of the year, saying "substance was much more important than deadlines".

The UK has said it could walk away from the talks in June unless there was the "broad outline" of an agreement.

The process, to be conducted in English, will begin on Monday.
