A Government source accused the EU of slowing down negotiations in all areas - not just on difficult issues such as fishing and the so-called level playing field. But the UK side is keen to leave the sticking points until last and make progress where they can.
A source told The Sunday Telegraph: "The particular way the EU insisted on parallelism led to paralysis.
“Obviously everything needs to be up for discussion, but it makes no sense to have everything going at the speed of the most difficult issues.
"Now they need to adapt their approach to make sure talks throughout the summer don't suffer from unnecessary roadblocks."
Boris Johnson’s Europe adviser David Frost warned "considerable gaps remain in the most difficult areas" after the last round of trade talks.

8.55am update: Britons outraged as Barnier demands EU access to UK waters
Britons have reacted furiously to a demand from Michel Barnier for European fishing boats to be allowed access to UK waters beyond the Brexit transition period.
Reacting to the story on Facebook, one Express.co.uk reader said: "Barnier still treating the UK as if we haven't left.
"His demands no longer work. David Frost is right to stand for what is rightfully ours."
A second warned: "During the Brexit process and when the EU believed we wouldn't leave, they made us dance to their tune and treated us with total contempt.
"They had the power purely because of Remainers giving them the confidence to stand firm.
"Now they are the on the back foot and they know ultimately they will have to dance to our tune and they hate it."
Another outraged reader wrote: "He is threatening US with No Deal if we don't back down?
"Hasn't he figured out if he accepts our terms the EU gets some fishing on an annually renewable licence.
"If we leave on WTO term they get NOTHING. Our Waters, Our Fish, NOT the EU’s."
