Quote from The Sun:
Brussels fears the EU will be worse off after no deal than Britain, it has been revealed.
Officials working at the European Commission have said that getting it ready in time and legally watertight was "not easily done" because of the make up of the EU, and its own elections.
The EU would have to take emergency measures to make sure that they were ready in the case that no deal was reached - to keep trade routes open and planes flying.
But the European Parliamentary elections are set to take place just weeks after Brexit - meaning officials won't be around to deal with any issues that could arise if there's no transition period.
"It will be very difficult to co-operate,” a senior EU official told The Times. "In most areas where we will need to act there will be national vetoes in play. All countries will be able to block."
As a big bloc of states too, the EU can't make decisions quickly on behalf of other countries - which Britain would be able to do.
