EU official: Brexit talks to start quickly
LONDON - The president of the European Parliament says he expects negotiations on Britain's exit from the European Union to start quickly.
Martin Schulz told Germany's ZDF television Friday that he expects British Prime Minister David Cameron to invoke Article 50 of the EU treaty, which would set in motion the exit process.
Schulz says years of suspense would be "neither in the interests of Great Britain nor in the interests of Germany, France, Italy or the other member states of the EU."
He says: "I assume that the negotiations on the exit will now start quickly."
