EU capitals want to prevent an extended divorce process from clouding the European Parliament election.
In a statement after the vote, a European Commission spokesperson said the British parliament had failed once again to choose a path forward on Brexit and that rejecting a no-deal scenario was insufficient.
"The decision is so political," one senior EU official said. Diplomats and officials in Brussels are expected to prepare a list of potential options and the various implications and consequences for the heads of state and government to consider, but without expressing any recommendation or preference.
Noting the upcoming votes in the U.K. parliament on preventing a no-deal scenario and on an extension, he said:"It will be for the British government to tell us — I hope positively — how it wishes to proceed, to finally bring together a constructive majority for a proposal. It is the U.K.'s responsibility to tell us what it wants for our future relationship, what its choice is, what its clear line is. We must now ask that question before asking about any possible extension.
Asked what constituted a"reasoned request" he said, "I will not venture into a typology on what a reasoned request would be. I would simply state the obvious that a reasoned request is a request based on a reason.""It's not clear to me how what hasn't been solved in two years could be sorted out in a few weeks," German Europe Minister Michael Roth said in.
