A well-managed Brexit is a priority for the entire EU

Abstract:

It is tragic to see that the British Prime Minister is received by the American President and even by the Turkish President, while European leaders turn their back to her.

Theresa May’s speech on January 17th, but also the mood in Brussels, portends an abrupt departure, rather than a constructive deal. This will not only be harmful for Britain, but also for the rest of the EU.

With the 9th March deadline drawing ominously near for triggering Art. 50, discussions need to start right away to secure a managed transition and lay the groundwork for a new partnership.
