The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, said today that it is unlikely that the European Union will take a decision on Brexit at this week's summit in Brussels.

Juncker told the German channel Deutschlandfunk that the remaining 27 Member States had their hands tied until the problem was solved.

"As long as we do not know what Britain can say" yes ", no decision can be made on our side either," he said.

British Prime Minister Theresa May, frustrated by the indecision of the deputies, should ask Wednesday in Brussels a short deadline for Brexit.

British lawmakers are deadlocked over the 2016 British referendum decision to leave the European Union, scheduled in just nine days.

The exasperated European leaders are asking London to tell them clearly what it wants, warning that there is still the risk that Britain will leave the bloc on March 29, thus ending its 46-year membership without formal arrangements.

The British Prime Minister is struggling to keep control of the Brexit process after MPs last week decisively rejected the EU 's divorce agreement for the second time.

It reluctantly agreed that Brexit should be postponed, while Britain feared an economic shock if Britain ended its accession to the European Union without any new arrangements in place.
