European leaders voiced misgivings on Thursday about the state of Brexit negotiations after UK lawmakers voted to give themselves a say on the final deal in 2019.

The agreement between the European Union (EU) and UK about its withdrawal from the bloc, due in 2019, is "a binding document", European Parliament President Antonio Tajani said at an EU summit on Thursday.
