Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk make statements on the conclusions of last week's European Council meeting, APA reports citing Euronews

"A no-deal brexit will never be our decision", Tusk said.

Tusk then paid tribute to Jean-Claude Juncker in the address, saying he admired his work despite not always agreeing.

"It was an emotional moment last week when i attended my last European Council," admitted Juncker, before getting straight to the perennially preoccupying concept of Brexit.

Brexit negotiations have been a "waste of time and a waste of energy," he said.

"I will always regret the UK's decision to leave the union...but we have done all in power to prepare the EU for all eventualities" he went on, before adding that Westminster must ratify any Withdrawal Agreement before the EU does.
