INTERNATIONAL NEWS11 April 2019
On 11 April 2019, the 27 EU Heads of State agreed on a new Brexit deadline. So, the UK will not leave the EU on 12 April 2019. The new deadline is a “flextension”.
The ultimate deadline is 00:00 hours on 1 November 2019. However, the UK can leave the EU earlier once the Withdrawal Agreement has been approved. In such case, the Brexit deadline will be 00:00 hours of the first day of the month following the completion of the ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement.
