European countries are expecting a letter from Prime Minister Theresa May requesting a delay to Brexit.

European countries are expecting a letter from Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday, requesting a delay to the country's departure from the bloc.

The letter from May is due to arrive in Brussels before the heads of state gather on Thursday for an important summit. The 27 leaders will then be discussing the implications of an extension to the Brexit process. "We need something new, because if it is an extension to remain in the same deadlock that we are – how do we get out of this deadlock? This is a question for the British authorities," Nathalie Loiseau, minister for European Affairs of France said in Brussels Tuesday.

"It can very well happen, it is not what we want to happen," Loiseau told CNBC when asked about how real is this scenario.
