EU Leaders Are Set To Agree A Shorter Brexit Delay Than Theresa May Asked For
BRUSSELS – The EU’s 27 leaders are set to allow the UK to delay Brexit but only until May 22 and on the condition that MPs approve the withdrawal agreement, according to draft conclusions seen by BuzzFeed News.
Ahead of the 27 leaders meeting among themselves to agree on the conclusions and discuss the latest Brexit developments, May was given the opportunity to provide an update to the room. There was some better news for May in the draft conclusions, which also state that the leaders approve the package of instruments and assurances agreed by the prime minister and the European Commission in Strasbourg earlier this month. May had asked the 27 to endorse the measures, in her letter to Tusk.
“She asked us to break EU treaties,” said one, adding: “It sets the precedent that a member state can break the treaties.”
