British Prime Minister Theresa May is heading to Brussels on Wednesday to resolve the last sticking point on the UK's exit from the European Union, five months ahead of schedule.
European Commission President Juncker will meet at 17.30 (16.30 GMT) in May, which faces a rebellion mostly because of its administration of the Brexit file, ahead of a special summit to be attended by EU leaders on Sunday.
Juncker and May will discuss the "framework of the future relationship" between London and the European Union, which is supposed to be reached by the parties to end the complex negotiations unprecedented, began in June 2017.
The agreement reached last week by the negotiating teams concerns the United Kingdom's "withdrawal agreement", a 600-page text that eliminates the ties built up 40 years after Britain joined the EU.
The text specifically regulates the money London is supposed to pay to the European Union, without citing figures, and contains a controversial solution to avoid the return of physical borders between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
But the deal, which is under criticism in Britain, where Mai is accused of making significant concessions to the European Union, is supposed to be accompanied by a "political declaration" that outlines the future relationship with the EU, especially at the commercial level.
This document, which a European source said would be in 20 pages, would have no legal value but its political dimensions would be great to form a framework for trade negotiations that could only begin officially after Britain's departure from the Union on March 30, 2019.
The two sides will have to negotiate a transitional period due to expire by the end of 2020 and could be extended if the negotiations do not end.
If the British government and the EU's 27 member states reach an agreement on all aspects of separation, they will have to wait for the approval of the European Parliament and the approval of the British parliament, which seems not to be settled.
