The EU Commissioner does not hold, however, it is not excluded that the exit agreement between the UK and the EU take place in London, but still a majority: “It is completely unlikely that the British Parliament in January approved the divorce agreement,” said Oettinger. Because for a disorderly Leaving or for a new Referendum, there is no majority.

The probability for the British staying in the EU was of the view that Oettinger’s “in the past few months, something bigger”. Nevertheless, he will assume that it will come as planned to the outlet at the end of March.
