LONDON (Reuters) -Britain and the European Union will intensify efforts next week to find a solution to the post-Brexit trade arrangements for Northern Ireland after Brussels cautiously welcomed a change in tone from London.

After meeting with Britain's Brexit minister David Frost in London, EU negotiator Maros Sefcovic said the two sides would now seek to make headway on key issues such as customs checks and the movement of medicines into Northern Ireland.
