A deal to ensure a smooth British exit from the European Union is still possible, but the risk of a no-deal is also “very real”, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Wednesday.

“There is very little time left. The prime minister has told us he wants a deal, but he will leave with or without a deal,” Juncker told the plenary in Strasbourg. “The risk of a no deal is very real,” said Juncker, who met British prime minister Boris Johnson on Monday in Luxembourg.

Finland’s minister for European affairs also said that it is quite likely that Britain will leave the European Union without a deal at the end of October.

“A no-deal Brexit is a quite likely outcome,” Tytti Tuppurainen told the EU Parliament in Strasbourg during a debate on Brexit. Finland holds the rotating presidency of the European Union.
