Draft conclusion

  • EU to agree to further Brexit delay
  • extension cannot be allowed to undermine the regular functioning of EU institutions
  • if UK still EU member on 23-26 May 2019, and has not ratified Brexit deal by May 22, it must hold EU Parliament elections
  • extension cannot be used to start negotiations on future relationship
  • UK will remain EU member with full rights and obligations, can revoke leave notification anytime
  • UK shall facilitate achievement of EU tasks and refrain from any measure which could jeopardize the attainment of EU objectives
  • Delay only as long as necessary but leave blank exact date for maximum Brexit delay to be agreed by leaders on Wednesday (Tusk believes June 30 is too close).
