EU to reveal no-deal plans

                       

Brexit: EU to reveal no-deal plans



The European Commission will publish its no-deal contingency plans on Wednesday - an attempt to mitigate the damage if the UK crashes out of the EU.
The proposals are designed to limit disruption in certain key areas, such as finance and transport, if Brexit goes ahead in March without a deal.
As PM Theresa May's proposed exit plan flounders, both sides are preparing for the worst-case scenario.
The UK has allocated £2bn ($2.5bn) in funding to government departments.

What are the European plans?

The European Commission will set out 14 bare-bones proposals, covering legislation that will aim to ensure some continuity.
The measures address eight sectors, taking in issues such as road transport and customs, and how flights can proceed between the UK and EU.
These areas also include data protection, animal health and plants, climate policy, key financial products and the rights of UK citizens living in the European Union.
Brussels says the arrangements will be strictly time-limited, lasting only for a few months and will be ended without any consultation with the UK.

BBC Europe editor Katya Adler says Brussels will be keen to point out that these proposals are not in the UK's favour.
They are to protect EU member states from the more catastrophic points of Brexit, if no deal is reached, our correspondent explains.

Why now?

The European Commission's initial guidance on the issue was published in November.
It committed to publishing its draft version by the end of 2018, allowing for eight weeks of consultation, as required by EU treaties.
The issue is heating up because Mrs May's proposed deal, which was agreed with the EU, has so far failed to gain the support from UK politicians, who will vote on it next month.
The deadline for leaving is now 100 days away.

How to prepare Seared Steak

  Reverse-Seared Steak Time 45 to 55 minutes, plus lighting the grill Reverse-searing is a grilling technique for steak that ensures a dark, sizzling crust and a rosy center that is perfectly cooked to your desired degree of doneness. This brilliant grilling method combines the low and slow cooking of traditional barbecue with the high heat charring practiced at steakhouses. Though it works well with any thick steak, from picanha to porterhouse, this recipe calls for a cut of steak popularized in Santa Maria, Calif., and is today known and loved across the U.S. as tri-tip. As the name suggests, it’s a triangular or boomerang-shaped steak cut from the tip of the sirloin, blessed with a robust beefy flavor. INGREDIENTS Yield : 4 servings * 1large or 2 small wood chunks (such as oak, hickory or mesquite) or 1½ cups wood chips * Canola oil, for greasing the grill grate * 1tri-tip steak (about 2 to 2¼ pounds; see Tip) * Coarse kosher or sea salt * Freshly ground black pep...
