EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier demands concrete plan from the UK so that EU leaders can make a decision on approving an extension.
He said “Does an extension increase the chances of ratification of Withdrawal Agreement? What would be the purpose and outcome? How can we ensure that, at the end of a possible extension, we are not back in the same situation as today?”
“If Theresa May requests an extension before the European Council on Thursday, it will be for the 27 leaders to assess the reason and usefulness… EU leaders will need a concrete plan from the UK in order to be able to make an informed decision,” he added.
