British Prime Minister Theresa May has asked the European Union (EU) to allow Britain to extend Brexit to June 30 and the European leaders are expected to discuss that at a summit on Thursday.

There can only be a solution on the basis of the Withdrawal Agreement. But it is also clear that it is especially important to us that the European elections run properly.
