France's business federation warns of 'Brexit without end'

PARIS (AP) — France's main business federation says Britain's Oct. 31 departure from the European Union shouldn't be delayed again unless there's a major shift in negotiations, warning that "a Brexit without end" would be economically damaging.

The MEDEF federation advised Tuesday that all French businesses should continue to prepare for a so-called "hard" Brexit, without a deal to cushion expected jolts to European economies and firms.

In a statement, MEDEF said it is "seriously concerned by this situation and its harmful consequences for all European citizens and companies."
