Brexit deal possible, but France preparing ‘all measures’ in case talks fail – minister

A deal on Brexit is still possible and remains the best scenario, the French minister for European Affairs said on Tuesday. However, Nathalie Loiseau added that France is preparing all measures in case there is no deal, including border checks at the English Channel tunnel. “We want a good deal and we think it is possible,” Loiseau told reporters at a meeting of EU ministers in Luxembourg which will also discuss Brexit. She added France was also preparing for a failure of the Brexit talks, Reuters reports. Paris had already made legislative proposals to take all necessary measures in case of a no deal, including on border checks at the Channel tunnel and for British citizens in France and French citizens in Britain, the minister said.
