“You can delay once, a single time, we are talking about a few weeks or few months, otherwise Britain would have to participate in the European elections.”
“For us it is important that something substantially new would be put on the table to justify a delay. Then we would all have to vote on it … No one wants to punish the Britons, if we can achieve something with a delay, we would be the last ones to stand in the way.”
