SOT, Donald Tusk, European Council President: "One thing must be clear. As I said to Prime Minister Johnson on Saturday, a no-deal Brexit will never be our decision."

SOT, Jean-Claude Juncker, European Commission President: "In truth, it has pained me to spend so much of this mandate dealing with Brexit when I thought of nothing less than how this union could do better for its citizens. Waste of time and waste of energy. The commission has worked tirelessly to negotiate and re-negotiate an agreement with the United Kingdom, to respect the UK's decision to leave the European Union. We now have a new agreement, which again creates the legal certainty for all the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. It took a huge amount of work to arrive at this point. I listened to Prime Minister Johnson in the same way as I listened to Prime Minister May. Our negotiators, mainly Michel Barnier, have once again worked around the clock and once again they have shown creativity and determination."

SOT, Jean-Claude Juncker, European Commission President: "The agreement we reached with the United Kingdom's government addresses this Parliament's demands, all the Parliament's demands. I will always regret the United Kingdom's decision to leave the union, but at least we can look ourselves in the eye and say that we have done all in our power to make sure that this departure is orderly. And in the same spirit, we have done everything in our power to prepare the European Union for all eventualities irrespective of what is happening on the other side of the channel. We need now to watch events in Westminster very closely, but it is not possible, not imaginable, that this Parliament would ratify the agreement before Westminster will have ratified the agreement. First London, then Brussels and Strasbourg."
