Brexit's destiny is "in the hands of our British companions" after EU pioneers consented to defer the takeoff date by no less than about fourteen days, says Donald Tusk.
On the off chance that MPs favor Theresa May's withdrawal bargain one week from now - Brexit would be deferred from 29 March until 22 May.
Be that as it may, on the off chance that they don't, the UK has until 12 April to think of another arrangement.
European Council President Mr Tusk said that until 12 April, "the sky is the limit" including an any longer postponement or dropping Brexit through and through.
Talking in Brussels on Friday, he said he was "extremely glad" the 27 EU pioneers had achieved a consistent choice to broaden the two-year Article 50 process, under which the UK was because of leave the EU next Friday.

Brexit: What simply occurred?
"It implies that until 12 April, the sky is the limit: An arrangement, a long augmentation if the United Kingdom chose to reexamine its procedure, or repudiating Article 50, which is a privilege of the UK government.
"The destiny of Brexit is in the hands of our British companions. As the EU, we are set up for the most exceedingly terrible, yet trust in the best. As you most likely are aware, trust bites the dust last."
As indicated by the last summit ends, the UK is relied upon to "show a route forward" before 12 April, if MPs don't support the withdrawal bargain consulted with the EU, which would then be considered by the European Council.
Theresa May has been allowed a touch of breathing space. The EU has enabled a couple of more days to endeavor to get her arrangement through the House of Commons.
However, it's not the timetable that she picked.
Also, as things stand, the desire that the trade off arrangement will get past is low.
Furthermore, more to the point, the administration does not trust that it can hold off another endeavor by an amazing cross-party gathering of MPs who are made plans to put Parliament persuasively accountable for the procedure to discover options.
Clergymen are in this manner today not simply pondering about how to oversee one final hurl for the head administrator's arrangement, yet what they ought to do straightaway, when - chances on - the entire issue is in the hands of the Commons, not Number 10.

The UK must choose by then whether it will partake in European Parliamentary races from 23-26 May - on the off chance that it doesn't, at that point a long postponement would move toward becoming "inconceivable", Mr Tusk said.
On Friday, Theresa May's agent David Lidington met resistance gatherings to talk about how MPs could cast a ballot on options in contrast to the administration's Brexit plan one week from now.
These could incorporate alternatives, for example, holding another submission, leaving with no arrangement or seeking after a closer monetary game plan, for example, the "Normal Market 2.0" plan.
MPs are required to cast a ballot on Mrs May's arrangement for a third time one week from now, in spite of Commons Speaker John Bercow deciding that it couldn't be brought back for another vote without "generous" changes.
Business Secretary Greg Clark told the BBC that on the off chance that they don't back it, at that point the administration would give Parliament the way to express their perspectives on a progression of different alternatives.
He said this implied an endeavor by a cross-party gathering to empower MPs to assume responsibility for Commons business, so they can get characteristic votes, would not be vital.
Be that as it may, he said the administration's aspiration ought to be to endeavor to work as large an accord as conceivable on Brexit, instead of basically "getting it over the line" with a thin lion's share of a couple of votes.

The withdrawal bargain sets out the terms of the UK's takeoff from the coalition, including the "separate from bill", the progress time frame, natives' rights and the questionable "barrier" courses of action, went for keeping an arrival to fringe checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Be that as it may, it must be endorsed by UK MPs, who have officially dismissed it twice by substantial edges.
The Irish chief Leo Varadkar said the decisions were currently self-evident: "It's this understanding; no arrangement; or the parliament taking characteristic votes in favor of an a lot nearer long haul association with the EU."
Be that as it may, Nigel Dodds, agent pioneer of the DUP - whose cast a ballot Mrs May depends on to help her minority government - said the PM had "botched a chance" to propose changes to the withdrawal consent to help get it through the Commons.
"The executive has now concurred with the EU to kick the can not far off for an additional two weeks and humiliatingly renounce her oft-expressed promise that the UK would leave the EU on 29 March," he said.
"Nothing has changed the extent that the withdrawal understanding is concerned."
