BRUSSELS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 23rd October, 2019) Ambassadors of 27 EU countries (Coreper) agreed during an unscheduled meeting on Wednesday that the country's withdrawal from the European Union should be postponed to avoid a no-deal Brexit, a EU source told Sputnik.
The United Kingdom earlier asked the European Union to extend Britain's exit deadline�until the end of January, 2020.
"The meeting was not meant to take any formal decisions and it didn't. All agreed on the need for an extension to avoid a no-deal Brexit. The duration of an extension is still being discussed," the source said, adding that there was a strong preference to use a written procedure to take the final decision.
According to the source, Coreper is expected to meet again Friday.
