Юнкер: Великобритания трябва да приведе в сила 'Брекзит ' възможно най-скоро

President of the European Commission (EC) Jean-Claude Juncker stated that the EC expects the United Kingdom government to leave the European Union "as soon as possible, however painful that process may be" in order to avoid prolonging "uncertainty." Juncker spoke at a press conference at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, Friday, after the UK voted to leave the EU in a national referendum.
"We now expect the United Kingdom government to give effect to this decision of the British people as soon as possible, however painful that process may be. Any delay would unnecessarily prolong uncertainty. We have rules to deal with this in an orderly way," stated Juncker.
The EC President continued, "Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union sets out the procedures to be followed if a member state decides to leave the European Union. We stand ready to launch the negotiations swiftly, swiftly with the UK regarding the terms and conditions of its withdrawal from the European Union."
Juncker went on to add "until this process of negotiations is over, United Kingdom remains a member of the European Union with all rights and with all obligations that derives from this."
On Friday morning the Electoral Commission reported that the Leave campaign had clinched a win, with some 52 percent of the electorate voting for Brexit from an estimated 72 percent voter turnout. London and Scotland polled predominantly for remain, but every English region outside the capital voted in a majority to leave the EU.
With the pound plummeting to its lowest value since 1985 following the results, the Bank of England has stated that 'all necessary steps' will be taken to maintain Britain's financial stability.
Shortly after the official results were announced British Prime Minister David Cameron stated that he would resign as the country's leader before the autumn during an address from Downing Street after being an integral part of the remain campaign.
