May is looking to European leaders for legally binding pledges so as to avoid the plan to return restrictions on the border with Northern Ireland.
Critics have said this plan will keep Britain linked to EU regulations, and will limit this state's capacities to sign other trade agreements.
The European Union has said it will not renegotiate this aspect, but may not have ruled out the possibility of increasing security for the interim term.

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.
