BRUSSELS—The EU on Tuesday demanded “substantive” movement from Britain on fisheries, dispute settlement, and guarantees of fair competition in their post-Brexit trade talks, which Germany said were at a “critical stage.”
France said the 27-nation bloc must not yield on fishing rights. Ireland—the EU member most exposed to any abrupt economic split at the end of the year—said Britain was running out of time to seal a new trade deal with the bloc.
