STRASBOURG (Reuters) – The head of the European Parliament said on Thursday he was happy with central elements of a deal reached over Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, citing citizens rights and the question of the Irish border.

“We are satisfied,” European Parliament President Antonio Tajani told a news conference in Strasbourg. The parliament must also approve the Brexit withdrawal agreement.
