Macron says May's Chequers Brexit blueprint 'not acceptable' | France24 |

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said British Prime Minister's so-called Chequers plan for Brexit was not acceptable following two days of EU talks in the Austrian city of Salzburg.

While noting that the Chequers plan was "a good and brave step" by Britain's May, the French president stressed that the blueprint was not a "take it or leave it" plan and that the bloc would "never accept a deal which would damage the EU and its integrity".

Addressing a press conference after the bloc's 27 leaders met -- without May -- Macron said, "We are today at the hour of truth" and that the bloc expected "new British proposals in October".
