Europe’s Leaders Urge Britain To Leave Bloc Quickly

'European Union leaders called Friday for Britain to start a two-year process of leaving the bloc, and to do so without delay.

The call, made by the leaders of the European Union’s four main institutions, reflected growing concern that a toxic tug of war between Britain and the European Union could drag on for months, even years, until London makes the first move.

The leaders’ statement was made public shortly after David Cameron, the British prime minister, announced that he would step down by October, when a new British leader would begin the formal process of leaving the European Union.

Boris Johnson, the former mayor of London who helped to lead the campaign to quit the bloc, said there was “no need for haste” in starting formal talks on the exit.'>>>
