- The European Council will start on Wednesday evening with a debate on Brexit.
- As things stand today, it has proven to be more complicated than some may have expected.
- We should nevertheless remain hopeful and determined, as there is good will to continue these talks on both sides.
- We must prepare the EU for a no-deal scenario, which is more likely than ever before.
- The fact that we are preparing for a no-deal scenario must not, under any circumstances, lead us away from making every effort to reach the best agreement possible, for all sides.
