Barnier: There is need for a technical extension of Article 50

The EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has given an interview to newspaper El Mundo. When asked: “….is it still possible to approve and ratify the WA before March 29?”

Barnier said: “No, no. Even if May gets a “yes” an extension will be needed. It would be called motivated, technical extension (..). If it takes two months for the procedure, it would be justified ”

Barnier:

“An extension should serve to fix a problem, not to delay the solution, not to postpone the problem three or six months. We should not risk prolonging the general uncertainty in Europe beyond the May elections”.
