'This is not a happy day': EU Council responds to Britain's Article 50 letter

March 29, 2017 22:57

Donald Tusk has insisted this is not a 'happy day' in London or Brussels in a gloomy response to Britain's Article 50 letter.

The EU council president said the Brexit process would be about 'damage control' for both sides.

In his initial response to the letter from Theresa May, Tusk warned of 'difficult negotiations' in the months ahead.

He vowed to protect the interests of the remaining 27 EU members but insisted there was nothing to 'win' for either side.

And he said: 'What can I add to this? We already miss you.'
