The European Union agreed to delay Brexit until January 31 next year on Monday just three days before it was due to take place.
European Council president Donald Tusk said on Twitter that the EU's 27 other countries agreed to accept "the UK's request for a Brexit flextension until 31 January, 2020.
The decision is expected to be formalised through a written procedure."
Leaving the envoys, EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier told reporters that "it was a very short and efficient and constructive meeting and I am happy the decision has been taken."
