Speaking after a meeting European Union's chief
Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, Maas said the EU wanted to be
constructive and was still aiming for a deal.
"With today's health and economic challenges, people on both
sides of the channel have enough to shoulder, so it would be
totally irresponsible to burden them in this position with
additional problems through a no-deal," Maas said.
