The European Commission adopted on the 3 May 2017 a recommendation to the Council of the European Union to open the Article 50 negotiations with the UK, in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on European Union. The recommendation included draft negotiating directives. The text complemented the political guidelines adopted by the 27 Heads of State or Government on 29 April 2017 and provided the necessary details to conduct the first phase of the negotiations. This reflected the two-phased approach put forward by the leaders of the 27 Member States and prioritised those matters which were necessary to ensure an orderly withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. |
