EU envoys are considering extending the UK’s Brexit deadline to 30 March, 2020, with a final end-date to be confirmed later, Reuters reported, citing an EU official.
The European Union’s second Brexit delay could go on until 30 March, 2020, an official with the bloc said, as 27 national envoys were preparing for a leaders’ summit on Wednesday that is due to decide on the matter, Reuters reported.
Earlier it was reported that EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier urged bloc members to agree to UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s plea to give the UK government an extension until June 30, 2019, but not offer a more lengthy extension, keeping pressure on UK lawmakers to pass some form of withdrawal agreement.
