Summary:
Helsingin Sanomat writes that the Brexit negotiations have started in Brussels. The biggest issue is how the Brits will regard the payment obligations of 100 billion euros. Foreign Minister Timo Soini became a sub-plot to Brexit news reporting when Bloomberg used a story about Brexit Minister Davis accidentally calling Brexit negotiator Barnier instead of Mr Soini as an example of the British government’s mess. Mr Soini underlines that Finland stands with the remaining EU member states when it comes to the negotiations. It has been assessed that the EU is much better prepared for the negotiations than Britain.
