BRUSSELS - The European Union will grant Prime Minister Theresa May a second delay to Brexit at an emergency summit on Wednesday but leaders will debate a longer extension with conditions to prevent any future British leader jeopardizing the bloc.
May had requested the EU defer Friday’s exit until June 30 but in Brussels a “flextension” until the end of the year or until March 2020 was being discussed, EU diplomats said. A draft of the summit conclusions seen by Reuters said Britain would be granted another delay on certain conditions. It left the end-date blank.
European leaders fear a no-deal exit on Friday at 2200 GMT would spook financial markets, hurt the EU 27’s $16 trillion economy and undermine global trade.“In my view, a short extension would not bring much,” said Detlef Seif, deputy EU spokesman for Merkel’s parliamentary group. “There is no appetite to return to a new European Council every six weeks to decide whether to renew the extension.
Nearly two weeks after Britain was supposed to leave the EU, the weakest British prime minister in a generation said she feared Brexit might never happen as she battles to get a divorce deal ratified by a divided parliament.
