EU chiefs are panicking as MEP’s warned they will not just vote through any Brexit deal before having sufficient time to scrutinise the text and terms of the deal.
This may not be a problem however, as EU negotiator Michel Barnier has said he will cancel trade talks with UK counterpart Lord David Frost unless the UK negotiating team moves closer to the EU’s demands with time running perilously close to get the agreement over the line.
It was hoped the pair could to finalise the text of a draft deal and present it to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU chiefs such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron before the end of this week but that deadline now seems unlikely after the EU negotiators statement.

MICHEL Barnier faces mounting pressure in his battle to secure a Brexit trade deal with senior MEPs warning they will not be bounced into backing the pact.
The Brussels diplomat was warned the European Parliament’s consent for any agreement is not guaranteed. Speaking in Brussels, the institution’s Brexit representatives called on a legal text to be delivered as soon as possible so they can begin their ratification process. They have already had to make plans for an emergency vote on the Brexit trade deal for December 28 after talks missed their latest deadline.
David McAllister, the EU Parliament’s Brexit negotiator, warned: “There is still no agreement.
“I want to point out, we cannot simply wait until the very last minute to agree on a text since we as a Parliament have to scrutinise the final text.
“We, as the European Parliament, will have the last word. To give our consent, we need to receive a legal text as soon as possible.
“Nobody should underestimate the risk that a late submission entails for the orderly start of our new EU-UK relations.”
Despite making progress, EU and UK negotiators are said to still be at loggerheads over future access to Britain’s fishing grounds and common standards, including state aid rules.
Dutch MEP Kati Piri warned the Parliament would not cave on its “red lines” because a deal is set to be rubber-stamped at the last minute.
She told the debate: “It’s clear we urgently need white smoke.
“But let me reiterate, once again, that the Parliament will not move its red lines to ratify just any last-minute deal.”
In her own intervention, Ursula von der Leyen urged the EU to back a compromise as time runs out to secure a Brexit trade deal.
The European Commission chief said an agreement was far from certain because of the disputes over access to Britain’s coastal waters and common standards, including state aid.
Mrs von der Leyen said: “Frankly I cannot tell you today if, in the end, there will be a deal.
“However, there's still three issues that can make the difference between a deal and no deal.
The gloomy outlook comes as EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier said he will cancel scheduled talks in London later this week if his UK counterpart Lord David Frost does not budge to the EU’s demands on the main sticking points.
It is said Mr Barnier is “growing frustrated” at the UK for not moving closer to the EU position and didn’t want another “Groundhog Day” of talks.
Time is now closing in to get a deal over the line with the transition period deadline looming on December 31st.
