FX168 financial news (Hong Kong) reported on Saturday (March 23) that this week's European Union summit has become a hot topic. Although the summit gave two plans for Britain to delay its departure from the European Union, the discussion at the summit also reflected the eu's views on the current chaotic situation of Britain's departure from the European Union and its expectations for the next step.
This article will review the main processes and details from Thursday's eu summit.
According to politico, after eight hours of negotiations, the eu has come up with two options:
Plan one: if the British parliament passes may's agreement next week, the date of brexit will be postponed to May 22.
Plan 2: if parliament still rejects may's deal next week, the delay will be even shorter, until April 12, at which point Britain must give a plan or opt for a no-deal brexit.
Review during the eight hours, the summit first quickly rejected the prime minister may delay to take off the previously proposed to June 30, the request, but in the best way to respond to the content of the plum in the 27 member states expressed serious differences, lead to the summit to meeting content inversion, delayed due to dinner to discuss China and the eu's position in the global content.
However, the summit was followed by a tea break and a dinner to revive the debate over brexit. The situation suggests that while member states are still doing their best, the subject of brexit is still a bigger part of the eu summit agenda.
Eu summit President Donald tusk presented may with the final plan after leaving a meeting of heads of state to discuss. The two sides reached a final agreement, with reports saying may had few options as the risk of a no-deal brexit looms.
Eu position:
At a news conference late on Friday morning, the European Union's plan included all options for Britain to open its doors, including reversing the brexit scenario.
Tusk words said, "the eu council agreed to extend the deadline to off on April 12, at the same time expected Britain also reveal a push to take off the side of the said in the April 12, before this date to all options are still open, the British government still can choose whether to have agreement, without stripping the or longer delay or withdraw the A50."
A senior official pointed out that Mr Tusk's initial proposal, the delay to take off the to May 22, be regarded as too optimistic by other eu leaders, leaders in a question-and-answer session 1 hour 45 minutes also let the prime minister may join in, but found in this link member states may's reply is not sufficient, the conclusion once mui again to defeat the British parliament voted to initially set the deadline was suppressed.
European Union President jean-claude juncker appeared at a news conference with tusk to stress that eu leaders had formally taken further confirmations of the Northern Ireland guarantee deal on Thursday, but those confirmations were not enough to get prime minister may's deal through the British parliament.
"We've been negotiating this deal day and night, doing everything we can to get it done before the deadline," Mr. Junker said. "we're at the end of the road and there's not much more the eu can do."
"Time is ticking, not just on brexit but elsewhere."
A senior eu official said the wheel of fortune would shift to London to consider what to do next if Britain voted down another brexit deal. If Britain refuses to take part in the European elections at this point, it faces the possibility of no deal as soon as April 12. That date could also be pushed to May 22 or June 30, but not longer.
Eu views on May's comments:
British officials said prime minister may was pleased with the result, which gave her another chance to salvage brexit, call a vote and deal with a rocky administration.
But an eu official said the prime minister's responses to communications with leaders of member states were always less than neat.
Another official noted that the discussion didn't make much of a difference in the outcome, and that for leaders, there wasn't much information beyond what was already known.
One caveat, according to senior officials, is that French President Emmanuel macron told leaders he thought may had a 10 percent chance of passing the deal, but cut that to 5 percent after listening to his question-and-answer session.
Mr Tusk told Mr Macron that he had been "kind" and other exchanges heated up.
Marolon trying to has proposed to the legislature May 22 cut-off time on May 7, adopt a strong attitude also suggested that the eu may need to reject any agreement on the way, but this is not just bring to the UK economy, will also give the eu itself in itself, especially those closely contact with the British economy of Ireland and the Netherlands.
Macron is focused on pressing the UK to broker a deal or seek a longer brexit, up to a year or more from last year.
But prime minister may has expressed no interest in long-term brexit.
German chancellor Angela merkel meddled in the speeches of diplomats and officials during her time in office to overturn macron's decision to leave the European Union without a deal, while accusing tusk of launching a wave of confused and divisive debates that she said showed how unprepared officials in the European parliament were.
One eu diplomat said France had taken a relatively tough line at the summit, particularly between macron and may, when asked forcefully: are you ready for no deal?
As next week's scheduled March 29th approaches, it remains to be seen what the government will do next.
