European Commission spokesperson Natasha Bertaud said that EU is ready to work with “any new prime minister of the United Kingdom”. Boris Johnson, who’s favorite to take over from Theresa May, has repeatedly said he’s prepared for a no-deal Brexit.
Also, the commission reiterated that it’s ready to “engage with the member states that would be most affected” by no-deal Brexit. The measures include programs for emergency support. Additionally, contingency plans include a scenario in which “the UK also fails to pay what is envisaged” under the current EU budget.
