BRUSSELS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th October, 2018) The European Parliament (EP) might vote against the draft agreement on Brexit, if no positive solution to the Irish border issue is found during the negotiations, President of the European Parliament Antonio Tajani said Wednesday.
"The EP absolutely wants to reach an agreement. But this deal should not be concluded at any cost. If we do not see a positive solution found for the [Irish border issue] � there were some positive signals for the [issues of EU citizens in the United Kingdom and UK financial commitments] � then we will vote against the draft agreement," he told reporters.
Tajani stressed that 3 million EU citizens in the United Kingdom should be protected, London must fulfill all its financial commitments, and the Irish border matter should be resolved.
EU leaders gathered for a two-day summit on Wednesday to discuss a number of pressing issues, including stalled Brexit talks, migration issue, the economy, as well as traditional and new security challenges.
