We would like to solve simple issues first, in order to give impetus to the negotiations, since time is short on both sides, "said UK spokesperson, James Slack.

Further development
As we can see on the trading chart, the correction already to more than 150 points, and the mirror level of 1.3300 could become the support level for short positions.
