<p>He said he was waiting to hear from the Tory leader about his plans for Brexit and stressed that a no-deal outcome would never be the EU’s preference.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Mr Barnier met MEPs on the European Parliament’s Brexit steering group (BSG) to discuss the incoming British prime minister.</p>

<p>“It’s a very important moment for Brexit,” he told the BBC in Brussels.</p>
<p>“We look forward to hearing what the new prime minister Boris Johnson wants, what are the choices of the UK.</p>
<p>“Is it an orderly Brexit? This is the choice, the preference of the EU and we have worked for an orderly Brexit all along the last three years.</p>
<p>“Is it a no-deal Brexit? A no-deal Brexit will never be, never, the choice of the EU. But we are prepared.</p>
<p>“And for an orderly Brexit we will work along the next few weeks and months with the new UK Government in the best possible way in a very constructive spirit to facilitate the ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement.”</p>

<p>Mr Johnson has already declared that the Withdrawal Agreement is dead and that he will get the UK out of the EU – with or without a deal – on the October 31 deadline.</p>

<p>The BSG said statements made during the Tory leadership campaign had “greatly increased the risk of a disorderly exit of the UK”.</p>
<p>Following their meeting with Mr Barnier, the MEPs stressed their commitment to the Withdrawal Agreement setting out the terms for the UK’s divorce from Brussels.</p>
<p>The BSG, chaired by Guy Verhofstadt, said “a no-deal exit would be economically very damaging, even if such damage would not be inflicted equally on both parties”.</p>
<p>A no-deal exit “will not be mitigated by any form of arrangements or mini deals between the EU and the UK”, they added.</p>
