It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to EC documents.

“Only eight weeks remain before Britain leaves the EU - October 31, 2019. The short time remaining and the political situation in the United Kingdom have increased the risk that the UK will leave on this date without an agreement, ”the statement said.

The EC calls on everyone who is affected by the process of leaving the kingdom to unite to continue to prepare for all possible options for Brexit.

“They should not rely on the assumption that the United Kingdom will request a third respite and that it will be agreed by the European Council until October 31,” the EC noted.

Earlier it was reported that the British opposition intends to take advantage of its victory in the vote in the House of Commons and consider a bill to postpone Brexit.
