Asked about British demands to change the backstop, Kaljulaid said: “This is not possible.”

Asked if a time limit could be put on the backstop, she added: “Then it is not a backstop anymore. We agreed that there will be an Irish backstop. It can’t be changed.”

“We are all concerned ... A no deal Brexit – if it will happen – will be a huge problem. It would be terribly difficult administratively.”
