France not opposed to Brexit delay, ‘a year is too long’ – Macron’s aide France not opposed to Brexit delay but ‘a year is too long,’ says Macron’s aide
(32 minutes later)
France is not opposed to an extension to the Brexit deadline, but would push for strict conditions to be attached, an aide to French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday. “We’ve never been closed to the idea of finding an alternative solution to ‘no deal’ within certain limits and not at any price,” the aide said. Macron had previously sought to raise pressure on British Prime Minister Theresa May by saying an extension at a summit of European leaders starting on Wednesday to the current exit date of April 12 was not “automatic.” The conditions for the extension would be in terms of length, and the aide said a year “seems too long,” AFP reports. Paris would also seek  arrangements to limit Britain’s influence within the EU during the extension period, according to the official.
