Leading EU lawmaker sees smaller risk now of no-deal Brexit

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A European Parliament lawmaker dealing with Brexit, Danuta Hubner, said on Wednesday she saw a smaller risk now than before of failing to reach a divorce agreement with Britain.

"My feeling is that there is a smaller probability for lack of deal now than we have had for some time," Hubner told a sitting of a European Parliament committee.
