EU MAINTAINS OFFER FOR BRITAIN TO STAY PUT
European Commission chief JeanClaude Juncker on Wednesday maintained the offer for Britain to remain in the European Union even after both sides have entered the second phase of Brexit. Juncker told the EU legislature that even if the famed Article 50 is set up to let Britain leave the bloc, there is another article that “would allow them to accede again, and I would be happy to facilitate that.” The British voted in a June 2016 referendum to leave the EU, and the date is set for March 29, 2019.
