Today, the European Parliament warned the new British Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the "economically very harmful consequences" of Great Britain's withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit) without an agreement.
Parliament also confirmed the possibility of amending the political declaration with the withdrawal agreement, which London accepted, but added that the agreement itself cannot be amended.
Johnson has said on several occasions that he wants the country to leave the EU by October 31, with or without an agreement with Brussels.
"Recent statements, including those made during the Conservative Party leadership campaign, have significantly increased the risk of a disorderly exit of Great Britain from the EU," warned representatives of political groups in the European Parliament after a meeting with the Union's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier.
The statement said that a no-deal Brexit would be "economically very damaging", although the damage would not be felt by both sides in the same way.
A no-deal Brexit "could not be replaced by some form of arrangement or mini-agreement between the EU and Great Britain," said MEPs who issued the warning on the day Johnson officially takes office.
The European Parliament reiterated that the already reached agreement between London and Brussels will not be renegotiated.
