At the EU summit in Brussels, with the participation of representatives of 27 countries (without the UK), a final statement was adopted regarding the preparation of the text of the agreement on the withdrawal of the UK from the EU (Brexit).

The European Council notes that the UK should continue negotiations on territorial issues, in particular on the issue of Gibraltar. Also, EU members are concerned about the lack of progress in agreeing a solution to Brexit with Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Council recalled that the UK must fulfill its obligations undertaken in 2017 and in March 2018.

"It is also necessary to accelerate the work on the preparation of a political declaration on the structure of future relations (between the European Union and the UK." - NEWSru.com comment), "the European Council added. In this regard, from the UK are waiting for "realistic and constructive proposals."

The head of the European Council, Donald Tusk, noted that the EU is aiming for an "ambitious partnership with Britain on security and trade" after the country's withdrawal from the community.

The EU and the United Kingdom should finalize the text of the Brexit agreement by October, in time to sign and ratify it by the official release date of March 29, 2019. The main problem remains the issue of the regime of the border between the departing EU as part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland and the remaining Ireland in the EU. The parties are afraid of the resumption of separatist tendencies in Northern Ireland, if it is not possible to maintain a transparent border in this zone. Real progress in negotiations on Brexit can not be achieved since March.

Let's add, the signing of the final document of the summit intended to block Italy because of disagreements around ways to solve the migration crisis. "Italian Prime Minister [Giuseppe Conte] said that Italy will not sign any conclusions of the summit until an agreement on migration is reached," a source in the delegation of one of the EU countries said.

Later on Thursday, the EU officially confirmed the blocking of the final document of the summit, Tass reports.

Italy, in particular, seeks revision of the Dublin agreements, according to which the responsibilities for receiving migrants fall on the country where they come.

At a mini EU summit on migration with the participation of the leaders of 16 countries in Brussels on June 24, Italy presented a document entitled "Multilevel European Strategy" on migration policy. It includes 10 items aimed at regulating the flow of refugees. It is suggested, in particular, that mandatory quotas for the reception of migrants be established for EU member states. Countries that have refused them should be reduced targeted funding from the EU budget.

Some compromise solutions for the migration crisis still managed to be adopted at the summit. For example, the EU members agreed to support Libya in the organization of the Coast Guard. Also, 500 million euros will be sent to a special fund to support African countries, according to the website of the European Council.

EU leaders had to sign several parts of the final document, including parts on trade, EU-US relations, security issues. And the Presidents of the European Council and the European Commission Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker were supposed to hold a press conference at 19:30, but journalists were already announced in the press room that it was being postponed. As the source later explained, Tusk and Junker did not go to journalists just because the summit's conclusions were not signed, that is, they can not announce the decisions of the meeting.
