Just eight weeks before Brexit on October 31, the European Commission (EC) has called on the 27 EU Member States to prepare for the possible scenario of a “tough” Brexit (without a deal). This is stated in the statement issued by the European Commission on Wednesday in Brussels, reports TASS.

The EC emphasizes that a “tough” Brexit is viewed as a possible scenario in the context of Great Britain’s uncertainty and states that it will have serious negative consequences for the economies of both parties.
