Senior EU Official: EU's only Plan B is preparing no-deal Brexit

A Senior European Union (EU) Official responded, via Reuters, when asked after the treaty was endorsed at a summit about what the EU was doing to prepare for possible new negotiations.

Key Quotes:

“The only Plan B that is going on is preparedness planning. This work continues.”

“Those no-deal preparations were not discussed by leaders on Sunday and nor was there any discussion among the leaders or with British Prime Minister Theresa May of “what if” questions relating to the British parliamentary vote, expected to take place days before an EU summit on Dec. 13-14.”

“There is a common appreciation that what is on the table is the only possible deal given the positions of the United Kingdom.”

Asked if there could be further talks, he said: “After this long, long process, I can’t see how you can ever go there.”
