The reached draft agreement on the conditions for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union remains the only possible deal on this issue and will not be revised, even despite Tuesday’s vote in the UK parliament, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Wednesday.
“The withdrawal agreement remains the best and only deal possible… the debates and votes in the House of Commons yesterday do not change that. The withdrawal agreement will not be renegotiated,” he said in the European Parliament.
With less than two months before the United Kingdom has to leave the bloc, the UK House of Commons has not approved the draft withdrawal deal yet, citing concerns over the Irish border backstop.
