EU officials are generally raising the pressure on UK for passing the Brexit deal. French President Emmanuel Macron said in Brussels that “I am quite open to a technical extension – it should be as short as possible – in the case of a positive vote.” However, “in the case of a negative vote in the British parliament, we will be going to a no-deal. We all know that.”
He emphasized: “It is absolutely essential to be clear in these days and these moments, because it is a matter of the good functioning of the EU. We cannot have what I would call an excessive extension which would harm our capacity to decision and to act.”
