France signals UK could stay in EU for almost another year - FT

• British Prime Minister Theresa May is meeting her German and French counterparts today in an effort to secure another Brexit delay.

The Financial Times explained that France has signalled the UK could remain in the EU for almost another year but will have to meet strict conditions, as the bloc’s leaders prepare to decide on whether and by how long to delay Brexit:

• Speaking ahead of a Tuesday evening meeting in Paris between Emmanuel Macron, the French president, and British prime minister Theresa May, a senior French official said the UK would have to commit itself to limiting its decision-making abilities about issues such as the EU budget and the appointment of the European Commission’s next president.
• “The longer the period is, the stronger the guarantee needs to be,” the official said, adding that in terms of the extension “a year seems to us too long”.
