Edit: I just found that this has been posted earlier in this thread - but here's another news site.
EASA gives requirements for return to flight.

The five requirements the European Aviation Safety Agency have listed so far are as follows:
  • Reduce the difficulty manually turning the trim wheel
  • Address the unreliability of Angle of Attack sensors
  • Address the training situation
  • Investigate software issues with a lagging microprocessor
The fifth one relates to difficulties in disengaging the autopilot under some conditions:

Investigations have concluded that pilots who encounter a stall scenario relating to the Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) or similar flight control emergencies have difficulty disconnecting the autopilot.
