"Currently I don't see any new solutions, further rapprochement," the minister said at a press conference, adding that if such alternatives existed they would have been considered long ago.

Brexit Withdrawal Deal Not Open for Revision — European Commission

Meanwhile, commenting on the deal defeat, Margaritis Schinas, the spokesman for the European Commission stated that Brexit withdrawal agreement was not open for renegotiation.

The agreed Brexit deal the minister was speaking about, was turned down by the UK House of Commons on Tuesday by 432 votes to 202.

May has pledged that she would report on the progress of the withdrawal agreement next Monday if her government survived the no-confidence vote proposed by the Labour Party immediately after the results of the Commons vote were announced. The motion will be debated in parliament later in the day.

Meanwhile, commenting on the deal defeat, Margaritis Schinas, the spokesman for the European Commission stated that Brexit withdrawal agreement was not open for renegotiation.

"We are always ready to meet and to talk, but the European Council in its Article 50 formation said in December that the withdrawal agreement, and I repeat, the withdrawal agreement, agreed by the 27 [EU members] and the United Kingdom is not open for renegotiation," Schinas told reporters.
