David Davis has said the EU must be willing to give ground too if further progress in Brexit talks is to be made.
He told the BBC the UK has "been offering some creative compromises and not always got them back", insisting that "nothing comes for nothing".
Many EU countries want to move on in the talks because they can see how it important it is to their economies, he told political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
But he said this needed support from 27 nations, including Germany and France.
The EU says negotiations cannot move on to trade until questions about the UK "divorce bill", citizens' rights and Northern Ireland are resolved.
