Comments by European Commission vice president, Pierre Moscovici

  • There won't be new negotiations by 29 March
  • Hard Brexit risk has substantially increased
  • EU states must prepare customs for hard Brexit

Moscovici is also saying that the deal that was defeated in the UK parliament yesterday was the "last chance" of a Brexit deal. Plenty of big talk, but it's still expected that they will allow for an Article 50 extension at the end of the day.
