BRUSSELS (Reuters) - There will be an extraordinary EU leaders meeting next week if the British parliament votes down for the third time the Brexit deal negotiated by Prime Minister Theresa May, the head of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker said. "In the event the Withdrawal Agreement would not be approved by the House of Commons, we will have a second meeting of the European Council next week," Juncker told reporters on entering an EU summit in Brussels.
