Brexit talks don't get breakthrough, continue on summit eve
The European Union and Britain saw their chances of reaching a full Brexit divorce deal by Thursday’s EU summit diminish by the hour Wednesday as legal issues centering on the Irish border frustrated negotiators.
“The 31st of October is still a few weeks away and there is a possibility of another summit before that if we need one,” Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said in Dublin.The British government, meanwhile, insisted the U.K. would still leave the EU on Oct. 31 — but also promised to obey Parliament’s order that it must seek a delay to Britain’s Brexit departure date if no deal is in place by Saturday.
The Brexit talks plodded ahead Wednesday, further delaying preparations for the EU summit. Since the weekend, negotiators at the EU’s glass-and-steel headquarters in Brussels have been locked into long sessions on how to deal with detailed customs, VAT and regulatory issues under British proposals to eliminate border checks between the U.K.'s Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland.
U.K. lawmakers, however, are determined to push for another Brexit delay rather than risk a chaotic no-deal Brexit that economists say could hurt the economies of both the U.K. and the EU.
