EU parliament urges Britain to start Brexit by Tuesday
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEuropean Parliament President Martin Schulz wants Britain to officially apply for an exit from the European Union already by Tuesday, following its vote to leave the bloc.
Schulz tells weekly Bild am Sonntag Sunday that “we now expect the British government to deliver. The summit on Tuesday is the right moment for this.”
Top EU officials have repeatedly pressed Britain for a quick exit to avoid a period of uncertainty for the remaining 27 EU countries.
