Brussels warns UK ahead of Brexit deal vote
The European Parliament on Tuesday evening voted on the Brexit deal, with Luxembourg’s six MEPs Charles Goerens, Monica Semedo, Christophe Hansen, Isabel Wiseler-Lima, Tilly Metz and Marc Angel saying ahead of time they would support it. The agreement was reached at the last minute on Christmas Eve last year ahead of a 31 December deadline of the UK leaving the EU. Ursula von der Leyen ahead of the vote told MEPs that the deal includes “real teeth” to punish the UK should it fail to adhere to the terms agreed. “We do not want to have to use these tools, but we will not hesitate to use them if necessary,” she said. The result of the vote is expected on Wednesday. Sources: The Guardian, RTL, BBC, Reuters, FT.
