Велика Британија бира, "за" и "против" ЕУ

Britain should begin informal negotiations on a full settlement governing its post-exit relationship with the European Union before invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, according to the chief executive of the Vote Leave campaign.

“We don’t think there is a need to swiftly invoke Article 50,” Matthew Elliott, the chief executive of Vote Leave, told Reuters in an interview.

“Its best for the dust to settle over the summer and during that time for there to be informal negotiations with other states,” he said.

Elliott said the full settlement on Britain’s exit would include all aspects of the relationship, including the British contribution to the EU, access to the single market, extradition agreements and so-called passporting for financial services.

“There is no reason why a sensible arrangement couldn’t be put in place for passporting to continue,” he said.

European Union governments have piled pressure on the UK to leave the bloc quickly, saying talks on the UK’s exit must begin soon and and urging a new British prime minister to take office quickly.
As Europe scrambled on Saturday to respond to the momentous Brexit vote, foreign ministers from the EU’s six founding members states meeting in emergency session in Berlin demanded the earliest possible start to the Brexit process.

France’s foreign minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, said Britain “must trigger” article 50 – the procedure for leaving the EU, adding that it was urgent Cameron step aside for a new leader to manage the transition out of the union: “A new prime minister must be designated, that will take a few days.”
It would “not be respectful” for Britain to delay the process, Ayrault said. “It’s a question of respect.” On Friday, Cameron said he would delay the start of Brexit negotiations until his successor as prime minister is in place in the autumn.

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, says it “shouldn’t take forever” for the UK to deliver formal notification that it wants to leave the European Union but is making clear that the matter is in London’s hands.
Merkel said she is seeking a “objective, good” climate in talks on Britain’s exit from the EU and that there’s no need to make deterrence a priority.

The European Central Bank has fanned fears that London could lose its status as Europe’s financial capital after warning that the Brexit vote might sever the City’s trade relationship with the EU.
A top ECB official said banks in the City of London risked being stripped of their lucrative EU “passports” that allow them to sell services to the rest of the union. François Villeroy de Galhau said keeping the so-called “passport” would not be possible if the UK leaves the single market.
