EU grants UK Brexit extension until Oct. 31

Brexit progress is confirmed to be reviewed in June

By Ahmet Gurhan Kartal

LONDON (AA) – Leaders of the European Union agreed late Wednesday to grant an extension to the U.K. on Brexit up to the end of October with a review in June.

European Council President Donald Tusk said on Twitter that the EU’s 27 member states agreed on the extension at an emergency Brexit summit.

“EU27 has agreed an extension of Art. 50. I will now meet PM Theresa May for the UK government's agreement,” Tusk tweeted.

Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat later confirmed that the delay would be until Oct. 31.

“A Brexit extension until 31 October is sensible since it gives time to the UK to finally choose its way. The review in June will allow EUCO [European Council] to take stock of the situation,” he tweeted.

British Prime Minister Theresa May had asked last week for an extension up to June 30 in a letter to Tusk, seeking a further short extension to the April 12 departure date.
