An unnamed EU official quoted saying that there will be a transition Brexit deal next week. But that would be provisional. He’s quoted:
- “There could be an agreement on transition, but it would in any case only be a provisional agreement,”
- “It would be completely dependant on what will be the fate of the withdrawal agreement. Of course, if there is no withdrawal agreement, there will be no transition.”
It’s reported earlier that UK Brexit Secretary David Davis is targeting to complete the legal text of the transition deal at the two-day summit from March 22.
However, it’s unlikely for a resolution on soft Irish border to be reached.
Intensive talk is now planned between March 26 and April 18 on the issue.
So, yes, the best transition deal will be provisional.
