3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.
The key words here seem to be "extend THIS period". The period of 2 years has already been extended. I can see nothing in the treaty that gives anyone the legal right to agree a further extension. Can someone point me to the law that allows this?

Can you see any wording that states multiple extensions are not permitted?

No he can't.

Angoose - No. Similarly there is no wording that says multiple extensions are pemitted. But at the time the treaty was prepared they clearly considered the possibility of extending the 2 year period. And as they made the conscious decision to put in a clause allowing the extension of the initial two year period, but did not put in a clause allowing a further extension if agreed by all parties, I don't see how you can legally grant a further extension. It only allows you to "extend this (the two year) period".

The treaty has the facility for extension if agreed by all the remaining members. It should be fairly obvious that they can extend it as many times as they want given that it is at their discretion.
