European Council President Donald Tusk said EU is ready to extend the transition period after Brexit in March, if UK requests for it. For now, “it was made clear by the UK that more time is needed to find a precise solution”. Hence, “there is no other way but to continue the talks” with UK.
Nonetheless Tusk also said “I stand ready to convene a European Council, if and when the Union negotiator reports that decisive progress has been made”, referring to the possibility of an extra summit on November 17-18.
