Correct, but Macron has already given notice that he would oppose an extension and Junker knows this, so the chances are even if the deal is not passed by the UK parliament then Macron and may be one or two other EU heads of state who have so far backed the official line (i.e. to support Ireland) are now looking to what comes next! For the French it seems the fishing deal will be one of the most important FT deals.but also he actually said there is no need for an extension now because there is a deal on the table
As with other Heads of state Macron would prefer a deal, but if the UK keeps shooting itself in the foot, he's not only going to take the bullets away, but the gun as well! There is really no point to an Extension, what will change? Yes there may be another referendum, or even a third one, yes there maybe a GE, but then what pops up from any of that?
It is not only UK businesses that are suffering from the indecision and uncertainty, businesses in the rest of the EU are also in the same boat. Its gone on long enough, what with Trump's sanctions and another flare up likely in the Middle East, the worlds economy is slowing down rapidly, hence Brexit has to be put to bed now so other matters can get the attention they need, not least of course Climate Change.
Actually its probably the only thing Boris and Macron agree on.
