EU: No deal Brexit 'very distinct' possibility

Best outcome would be a Brexit on basis of negotiated agreement, says EU official

ANKARA (AA) - The EU on Tuesday said a Brexit without a deal is a "very distinct" possibility and everyone has to be prepared for that.

"It is a very distinct possibility. Which is precisely the reason why we do launch this final call tomorrow for everyone to be prepared in case a no-deal Brexit occurs," Mina Andreeva, chief spokeswoman of the EU Commission said at a press briefing.

Andreeva said the best outcome would be a Brexit on the basis of the negotiated withdrawal agreement.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated that he would take the U.K. out of the EU by Oct. 31 and that although he is confident in negotiating a deal with Brussels, he was also making preparations for a no-deal Brexit.

Britain's Parliament repeatedly rejected the Brexit deal concluded by previous Prime Minister Theresa May.
