Junckner: EU ‘not at risk’ despite Brexit

STRASBOURG, France: The future of the EU is not “at risk” from Britain’s decision to quit the bloc, European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker said Wednesday, urging London to start the exit process as “quickly as possible.”

“We respect and at the same time regret the UK decision, but the European Union as such is not at risk,” Juncker told the European Parliament in Strasbourg in his annual State of the Union address.
