Brexit talks between EU chief
negotiator Michel Barnier and British Brexit Secretary David
Davis began Monday.
"Today we kick off negotiations for an orderly withdrawal of
Britain from the EU," said Barnier.
"We must face the uncertainties caused by Brexit, for
citizens, for the beneficiaries of European policies" and for
border issues, "especially Irish ones".
Barnier said he hopes there would be a "constructive" opening
to the talks, which will lead to the UK's exit in March 2019.
Davis said "we are starting with a positive and constructive
tone".
