Earlier in the day, the EU Court of Justice (ECJ) said in a press release taht the United Kingdom can unilaterally revoke its notification of withdrawal from the European Union.
“We are prepared for all scenarios,” a spokeswoman for the European Commission told reporters.
“We have an agreement on the table,” she added, recalling a position expressed by President Jean-Claude Juncker. “We will not renegotiate.”
On 25 November the leaders of 27 EU member states have endorsed the agreement and the political declaration regulating relations with the United Kingdom after the upcoming Brexit. According to the European Council’s press release, published on its official website, the agreement on the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the bloc should take effect starting from March 30, 2019.
Later, UK Prime Minister Theresa May said that the Brexit withdrawal agreement was “the best possible” and “the only possible” deal that would ensure a “bright future” for the United Kingdom.
