French Prime Minister Manuel Valls addressed the issue of the Brexit referendum during his speech at the National Assembly in Paris, Tuesday.
"The United Kingdom must activate the EU exit clause as soon as possible as stipulated in the Lisbon treaty in order to avoid uncertainty for all" said Valls.
He went on to say that "there is no time to waste. No negotiations will take place as long as Article 50 isn't activated. And if the British want to retain access to the common market, they will need to respect all the rules in their entirety."
Last Friday, the Electoral Commission reported that the Leave campaign had clinched a win in the UK EU referendum, with some 52 percent of the electorate voting for Brexit from an estimated 72 percent voter turnout.
