EU27 line on possibility of a special leaders' summit or EUCO is quite clear: "There is nothing more that the EU can do. The problem is in London, not in Brussels or the capitals of the 27. Hence, a meeting of the 27 right now serves no purpose" buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/th…
On the possibility of reopening the deal, EU27 reaffirms for the umpteenth time what they said at Dec. EUCO: "the Withdrawal Agreement, which was agreed by the UK government with the EU's negotiator and endorsed by the EU27 Leaders, is not open for renegotiation."
On the possibility of extending article 50, EU says there has been no UK request, but should there be one – "setting out the reasons for such an extension, it will be a matter for the EU27 to decide by unanimity."

Malta will create a new post-Brexit status for UK nationals currently residing in the country, protecting their rights.

Post-Brexit, terms for Britons to live and work in the country will be similar to those of non-EU nationals
Malta is also increasing no-deal preparations, these include advising companies to, where possible, look for alternative medicinal product suppliers in the EU vs UK, stockpiling medicines as a back-up, and boosting customs preparedness
Finally, Malta joins other member states to reiterate once more that the withdrawal agreement should not be reopened

The excellent @ShippersUnbound reports today that May’s “plan B” is to try and solve the backstop through a bilateral deal with Ireland thetimes.co.uk/article/35b951… - making the issue of the Irish border a bilateral one is unlikely to work
When UK leaves the EU, the Irish border becomes the EU’s external border. This is not only a bilateral Ireland-UK issue. It is an EU27 issue, also about protecting integrity of the single market (see Dec EUCO). Any solution needs to be compatible with EU law, and viable for EU27
Because of this, while an overall solution may well involve bilateral aspects, the need for any solution, if it is to be deemed credible, to address the purpose and substance of the backstop remains

NEW: The EU thinks Theresa May's attempt to win the support of MPs for her Brexit deal has come too late and will probably not work now, EU27 ambassadors were told today buzzfeed.com/albertonardell…
EU27 ambassadors were asked to not speculate about A50 extension & extending A50 beyond a few months is not so simple because it would mean the UK participating in European elections.

Am told there are different views on acceptable duration of any potential extension.
Finally, EU will be intensifying its preparations for no deal. European Commission officials will soon be visiting capitals to meet with relevant ministers.

Quick thread on Brexit latest:

1/ Olly Robbins is in town talking to the Task Force. Word is that May wants some kind of declaration clarifying that the backstop won't be needed, that it's temporary etc
2/ So, three key questions: what will the content of the declaration be; what will its legal weight be; and will it be ready in time for the #EUCO on Thursday?
3/ So far sources are reticent about whether a General Affairs Council, which is meeting tomorrow in Brussels anyway, will have a last minute Article 50 formation - but one source says it can be arranged at the last minute (GACs do the work of preparing summits).

Interesting to see how it's just as UK debate sits down for a bit on Brexit, to recover from conference season, negotiations w EU step up
If past fortnight has been about domestic management, then coming fortnight will be about UK working w EU to find ways to get mvt on WA/PD
Because of that hiatus after Salzburg, there's now v.little time left to achieve mvt in time for Oct #EUCO, hence the rush now

Here's a thread attempting to set out the #Brexit timetable for the next few months, based on this insightful @brunobrussels article:
thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/a…
Salzburg Summit 20 Sept:
"Shouting over the “backstop” + starting point of a '“political declaration” on the future relationship that will be thrashed out at a sequence of summits'
Tory party conference 1-3 Oct:
Hoping "Boris Johnson and the Brexiteers in the Conservative European Research Group" do not do anything to prevent the next planned steps

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The #Skripal case is very serious, and has the potential to become much more serious still. But it is also the first real test of UK position in foreign and security after #Brexit.

A balanced thread. /1
What’s missing after #Brexit?

Mainly the EU institutions. The UK briefed its allies inter alia via the EU’s Political & Security Committee, and @eucopresident put #Skripal on the agenda of next week’s #EUCO. /2
What’s different after #Brexit?

First, sanctions. While it is far from clear whether the EU will currently back up the UK on sanctions ag Russia, it is equally clear that any sanctions put forward by the UK wd be far more effective if adopted at EU level /3

#EUCO today. Sufficient Progress decision. How did we get here and where do we go? Thread.
1. UK miscalculated EU's unity, inflexibility, popularity among member states and overestimated UK's hand.
2. Unity: all agreed that importance of internal market to EU far outweighs importance of good deal with britain.
