BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Luxembourg is intensifying its preparations for a chaotic British departure from the European Union, the country’s premier said on Tuesday after the British parliament rejected a draft withdrawal agreement.
“We need a fast and clear plan on how to proceed,” Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said on Twitter. “Our internal preparations to limit the damage in case of a no-deal will go ahead at full steam.”
