Significance

The guidelines will be turned into formal negotiating directives that have legal authority.

Impacts

Should May refuse to pay the United Kingdom’s ‘divorce bill’, Brexit talks are virtually guaranteed to end in failure.
The EU will stick to its insistence on a phased rather than a parallel approach to Brexit negotiations.
Leaked accounts of last week’s meeting between Jean-Claude Juncker and May have increased concerns that the negotiating process could fail.
