(8 years ago)European Union leaders have said that the deal to oust Great Britain from the EU “is not open to renegotiation”, despite British Prime Minister Theresa May's demands.

It has sought legal security as far as the border with Northern Ireland is concerned, so it helps itself to advance the agreement in the British Parliament, as it postponed the voting date for the agreement days earlier.
May has said the “agreement is at risk” if MPs' concerns are not discussed.
But European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has said there may be additional clarifications but not renegotiation.
He has called on Britain to demonstrate more clearly what he wants, adding that this Commission will publish on December 19th information about preparations for Brex without deals.
May has returned to Brussels on Thursday to hold a summit with European leaders late in the week, as it postponed its vote in the British Parliament for the adoption of the Brexit Agreement and survived a no-confidence vote in its country organised by party conservatives Tory.
Currently, the main disappointment of MPs in Britain concerns the Irish border, as they demand that the border agreement be made clear that it will not be eternal and that Britain will have the opportunity to cut off this single pact.
The negotiated agreement with the EU must be supported by majority MPs in the British Parliament to enter into force.
In the June 23rd referendum in 2016, 17.4 million persons or 51.9 per cent of voters have supported the departure from the EU until another 16.1 million or 48.1 percent have voted against Brexit.
