The EU27 are expected to hold emergency talks without Theresa May May at the next EU summit if her Brexit deal does not pass in parliament. Brexiters are critical of the backstop as it could keep the UK in a customs union with the EU for an indefinite period, leaving Britain unable to put into force new trade deals in goods. MPs will vote on 13 December before the next EU summit, which will start on the deal two days . If the deal is rejected, the EU is likely to ask May to arrive later, so the other 27 EU members can consult on no-deal planning. There is reportedly little enthusiasm from EU members for any further negotiation with the UK , so if 13 December 's deal does not pass, a no-deal EU becomes very likely.
