The European Union’s executive proposed on Tuesday (13 November) that Britons be allowed to visit the bloc without visas after Brexit, diplomatic sources and officials in Brussels said, writes Gabriela Baczynska.

EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier will update the European Commission on divorce negotiations with Britain, which British Prime Minister Theresa May said were “in the endgame” but remain stuck over the Irish border.

While a deal is possible in December, delays raise the risk of the most damaging scenario of Britain leaving the EU next March without agreements in place to mitigate the damage.

The Commission also looked on Tuesday at no-deal contingency planning of the remaining 27 EU states. It also considered updating the EU’s 2030 energy efficiency targets to take account of Britain’s departure.
