UK Prime Minister Theresa May, to meet on Wednesday the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Junckerto face the Brexit situation, announced Tuesday the community executive.
The purpose of the meeting is "to take stock of the current situation of Brexit ", tweeted the spokesperson of the European Union (EU) Mina Andreeva.
"President Juncker will meet British Prime Minister Theresa May here in Brussels tomorrow at 18:30 (17:30 GMT)"European Commission spokeswoman Margaritis Schinas said at a press conference.
The UK must leave the European Union (EU) on March 29, as planned after the 2016 Brexit referendum, but May tries that the British Parliament supports a draft divorce agreement that has already been rejected several times, in terms of making concessions and the Europeans.
The Prime Minister clings to Westminster's mandate, which urged it to reach a "legally binding change" in the terms of protection to avoid a border for goods between Ireland and the British province of Northern Irelandwhich is the basis of his rejection.
However, Europeans refuse to reopen the divorce agreement, that the bloc leaders gave their approval in November and that requires the Ratification of the UK Parliament and the European Parliament is to enter into force.
The European negotiator, Michel Barnier, reiterated Monday this message to the British Minister of Brexit, Stephen Barclay, as well as that of the EU "can not agree to limit in time the safeguarding or unilateral withdrawal"Margaritis explained.
The community spokesman also announced new discussions this week "To see if you can find a way to get the widest possible support for the British Parliament."
