European ambassadors are due to meet Monday morning to discuss once again the U.K.’s request to have more time to prepare its departure. A draft document prepared ahead of that meeting, signed on October 27, shows that the EU is set to grant a third Brexit delay, “which ends at the latest on 31 January 2020.”
“With a view to allowing for the finalisation of all steps necessary for the ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement, including the obtaining of the consent of the European Parliament, the European Council agrees to a further extension,” the document says.
The U.K. asked the EU earlier this month to be given until January 31 to leave the EU. A few days later, the U.K. Parliament voted in favor of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s revised Withdrawal Agreement, but said once again that it needed more time to approve all the necessary legislation.
Nonetheless, the European Union is set to exclude any future renegotiation on the U.K.’s departure.
“The European Council firmly states that it excludes any reopening of the Withdrawal Agreement in the future and recalls that any unilateral commitment, statement or other act by the United Kingdom should be compatible with the letter and the spirit of the Withdrawal Agreement, and must not hamper its implementation,” the document said.
