After giving UK Prime Minister Theresa May the needed “meaningful clarifications and legal guarantees” on Irish backstop, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned in a joint press conference that “there will be no third chance”.
He said “it is in this cooperative spirit today that Theresa May and I agreed on a joint legally binding instrument relating to Withdrawal Agreement. The instrument provides meaningful clarifications and legal guarantees on the nature of the backstop.”
But he warned that “there will be no third chance, there will be no further interpretations of the interpretations, no further assurances of the re-assurances – if the meaningful vote tomorrow fails.” “The choice is clear: it is this deal, or Brexit may not happen at all. Let’s bring the UK’s withdrawal to an orderly end. We owe it to history,” Juncker added.
