In Brussels Friday, May said the EU had made it clear it is their firm determination to work speedily on a future relationship or alternative arrangements which ensure there is no hard border by Dec. 31, 2020 so the backstop will not need to be triggered.
May added the EU stands ready to embark on preparations so that negotiations on the future partnership can start as soon as possible. She added that as the conclusions were formal, the EU commitments have legal status and therefore should be welcomed.
"There is work still to do and we will be holding talks in coming days about how to obtain the further assurances that the UK Parliament needs in order to be able to approve the deal," said May.
CALL FOR BREXIT DEAL VOTE
The main opposition Labour Party will press May in the House of Commons on Monday to give MPs a meaningful vote on her Brexit deal before Christmas. That would mean a vote before Thursday, with MPs heading home afterwards for the Christmas and New Year holiday.
With politicians returning to Westminster on Jan. 7, May has promised a vote on the deal before a crucial deadline of Jan. 21.
Labour Party poured cold water on what May had achieved during two days of talks with EU leaders and European heads of state.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "The last twenty four hours have confirmed that Theresa May's Brexit deal is dead in the water."
Corbyn said the prime minister had utterly failed in her attempts to deliver any meaningful changes to her botched deal.
