[UK and EU Grapple with Brexit Deal Talks] 

British negotiators took part in talks with the European Union in Brussels yesterday, in a last-ditch attempt to strike a Brexit trade deal and avert a chaotic parting of ways as the end of the transition period draws to a close.  

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen spoke over the weekend to get their teams back to the negotiating table after talks stalled on three thorny issues. They are due to hold another call today in the hope that, by then, differences over fishing rights in UK waters, fair competition and ways to solve future disputes will have narrowed. British media reported that there had been a "major breakthrough" on the rights of European fleets to fish in UK waters, but a British government source said there had been no breakthrough on fishing rights yesterday. The UK left the EU in January, 2020. The 11-month transition period will end on December 31st.

昨天起，由英国"脱欧"谈判首席代表弗罗斯特和欧盟首席谈判代表巴尼耶领衔的英欧双方团队，在布鲁塞尔恢复贸易谈判。 

外界普遍认为，这是英欧能否达成未来关系协议的"最后一搏"。 

上月28号起，英欧双方在伦敦曾展开一轮面对面谈判，但于本月4号暂停，理由是双方在公平竞争环境、履约管理和渔业方面存在重大分歧。 

据媒体报道，有欧盟方面的消息人士透露，昨天的谈判在渔业问题上取得了突破性进展，但这一消息遭到英方消息人士的否认。 

预计今晚，英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊将与欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩就达成协议的前景，再次进行沟通。 

英国于今年1月31号"脱欧"，今年年底前处于过渡期，在贸易、人员流动等方面与欧盟维持现状。若英欧在过渡期内达不成协议，双方贸易自明年起，将退回至世界贸易组织框架下，边检和关税将重新实施，导致贸易成本增加。
