BREXIT: UK's exit is equivalent to 19 countries leaving EU at the same time - German MEP Hans Olaf
The United Kingdom leaving the European Union is the equivalent of 19 small to medium sized countries leaving at the same time, according to MEP Hans Olaf.
The German MEP was speaking at the European Parliament in Straatsburg today. He outlined why Brexit was such a “disaster” for the EU.
He said: “I think, from a business perspective, we have to recognise that Brexit is not only a disaster for Britain, it is also a disaster for the EU. Let’s face it, Britain is today the largest single customer of the EU.
And Britain leaving is the equivalent of 19 countries small and medium-sized countries leaving at the same time.
And, without Britain in the EU, this EU will remain uncompetitive as compared to other regions like North America, Asia, China, Japan, southeast Asia and so on.”
Henkel called for European politicians to “stop bashing London”.
He said: “I think the Commission now has a historic chance to do something: help the Remainers in Britain to go for a second referendum…”
Applause broke out, along with one heckler who shouted “rubbish”.
He continued: “…and help the Brexiteers to change their mind so they can save their face.”
“The European Union will never be complete without Britain,” he added.
