The European Commission says it has started to implement its preparations for a no-deal Brexit - in case the UK crashes out of the EU without a plan, BBC reported.

It has announced temporary measures to try to reduce the impact, but says it cannot counter all the problems it expects.

As PM Theresa May's proposed exit plan flounders in Parliament, both sides are preparing for the worst-case situation.

The commission's 14 measures cover legislation that will aim to ensure some continuity.

They address eight sectors, taking in issues such as transport and customs, data protection, animal health and plants, climate policy and key financial products.

Among other things, the measures would temporarily allow: Flights from the UK into and overflying the EU to be allowed for 12 months to ensure "basic connectivity"; Hauliers to carry freight by road into the EU for a nine-month period without having to apply for permits; UK financial services regulations - in a limited number of areas such as derivatives trading - to be recognised as equivalent to the EU's for one or two years.
