Brexit, EU Commission: "Preparing for divorce without an agreement"

Brussels has sent a message to the other EU institutions asking them to prepare for a possible chaotic exit of Great Britain from the Union

Brexit, EU Commission: "Preparing for divorce without an agreement"

"There is no certainty" that the European Union and Great Britain will be able to reach an agreement on Brexit within the established time frame: therefore "everyone must be prepared for the withdrawal of the United Kingdom on 30 March 2019" without any agreement and it is necessary " intensify preparation at all levels". This is the message that the European Commission has spread to the other Community institutions. The title of the communication is already quite eloquent: "Preparation for the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU on 30 March 2019".

If the agreement “is not ratified before 30 March – underlines the text – there will be no transition period and European law will cease to be applied” in the United Kingdom. With all the chaos this will entail.
