BRUSSELS - EU leaders on Friday said Britain had a final chance to leave the bloc in an orderly fashion, having given the UK parliament an April 12 deadline to offer a new plan or choose to quit the bloc without a treaty.
Preparations for a no-deal, in which Britain would face sudden trade barriers and restrictions on business, were still underway, however, Charles Michel told reporters. A first-ever leaders’ dinner debate over the EU’s China policy at the summit was delayed until Friday, for example. May originally wanted to be able to delay Britain’s departure until June 30 to tie up legislative loose ends.
“We wanted to support May and we showed that,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. “It was an intensive, but successful evening.”
