EU not to agree Brexit deal 'without Irish backstop'

European Parliament president says UK has not proposed any alternatives to withdrawal agreement

By Diyar Guldogan

ANKARA (AA) - The U.K. can not have an agreement without the Irish backstop, European Parliament said on Thursday.

"You can not have an agreement without backstop.That is the position of European Commission, the position of the European institutions, including the European Parliament," David Sassoli, the President of the European parliament, said at a news conference.

Sassoli said that the Parliament has the "last word".

He added the U.K has not proposed any alternatives to the withdrawal agreement.

The president said if there is a no-deal departure, "it would be entirely the responsibility of the U.K."

He also said the EU will be open to extending the Brexit deadline if it is for a general election or to block a no-deal departure.

The U.K. is set to leave the bloc at the end of October after two extensions granted by the EU.
