LONDON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Britain blamed the European Union
for holding up Brexit talks on Friday, with a senior British
negotiating official pointing to the EU's insistence that state
aid and fisheries policy must be agreed before talks can move
on.
"The process block now is the EU's insistence that we must
accept their position on state aid and fisheries before we can
talk about anything else," the official said.
"We are ready to talk about everything. It's not us that's
slowing it down."
