Emergency EU Summit on Brexit Deal Likely on November 25 - Irish Prime Minister

An extraordinary EU summit on Brexit could take place next week if the British government signs off on the draft withdrawal deal, the Irish prime minister said Wednesday.

LONDON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 14th November, 2018) An extraordinary EU summit on Brexit could take place next week if the British government signs off on the draft withdrawal deal, the Irish prime minister said Wednesday.

"Should the UK Cabinet be in the position this afternoon to say it's content with the text, it is proposed that the Commission Taskforce would be in a position perhaps tonight to publish the text with the possibility or probability of an EU council meeting around the 25th of November," Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said during a Q&A session in parliament, as cited by The Irish Examiner newspaper.

Terms of UK's exit from the European Union next March were agreed Tuesday by EU and UK negotiators in Brussels.

The United Kingdom voted to leave the bloc in a referendum in June 2016.
