		</div><p>German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday said “satisfactory movement” had been made towards a Brexit trade deal between the EU and the UK but “a lot of work still needs to be done”.<br />
Mrs Merkel spoke to the media at the end of the first day of a summit of EU heads of state in Brussels.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>It came on the day Prime Minister Boris Johnson had set as a potential cut-off point for the acrimonious negotiations.</p>
<p>Mrs Merkel, the veteran diplomat, admitted the two sides had their own “red lines” but said the EU should be willing to compromise if the UK does the same.<br />
She reiterated the protection of the single market and continued peace in Ireland were of vital importance to the bloc.<br />
“We have requested the UK in the sense of an agreement to be willing for further compromise, this includes of course compromises from our side,” Mrs Merkel said.</p>
<blockquote><p>For us it is important that Ireland can continue to live in peace, to safeguard the single market</p></blockquote>
<p>“Each side has its own red lines. For us it is important that Ireland can continue to live in peace, to safeguard the single market.<br />
“We also acknowledge that the UK would like to have a certain amount of independence since they are not an EU member.”</p>

<p>Britain has already left the EU, but Brussels and London need to agree on what their future relationship will be once a transition period ends on January 1.</p>
