Factbox: Countdown to Brexit...

Prime Minister Theresa May will write to European Council President Donald Tusk this month [L5N1GG31G] to trigger Britain's withdrawal from the European Union under Article 50 of the EU treaty.

It should be out within two years. Here is a timeline:

March 13 - The earliest the British parliament can complete approvals to launch what Britain says is an irrevocable divorce.

March 15 - Tusk wants May's letter in mid-March so leaders can react at an EU summit on April 6. Letter should be public.

March 20 - To frustrate Scotland's ruling, anti-Brexit SNP, May might hold off till after the SNP congress on March 17-18.

March 25 - The other 27 EU leaders meet in Rome to mark 60 years of founding treaty. May wants to avoid spoiling the party by filing for divorce around then. Self-set deadline March 31. Full story...
