EU: No impact from unsigned UK letter

The UK PM sent the unsigned letter to EU Council President Donald Tusk on Saturday with a second note saying that he opposes any delay.

Brussels: The European Commission on Monday said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's decision not to sign a letter requesting a three-month extension of the Brexit deadline has no impact on whether it is valid and that the European Union is considering the demand.

With the Brexit deadline looming and British politicians clashing over the UK's departure from the EU, Johnson was forced by parliament to ask for a three-month delay to the October 31 departure date.

UK PM sent the unsigned letter to EU Council President Donald Tusk late Saturday with a second note saying that he opposes any delay.

European Commission spokesperson Mina Andreeva said the EU has already begun ratifying the Brexit agreement reached with Johnson last week.
