The EU has decided at an emergency summit to grant the UK a 6-month extension on Brexit.
The emergency summit was held on Wednesday to discuss how much longer to give the UK before leaving the EU – saving the continent from a no-deal departure, previously due to happen at the end of this week.
If the extension is accepted by British Prime Minister Theresa May, and the UK remains in the EU after the 22 May, British voters will have to take part in European parliamentary elections.
