Comment: at a loss after the Brexit
The EU leaders have not found the answer to the Brexit. Until a joint Plan is concluded, it may take until next year. For too long, because the next parole is coming in October, says Bernd Riegert.
Two weeks after the Brexit, the EU summit and two debates in the European Parliament later, it is still unclear how the withdrawal of the British from the Union is to be organised. And what are the consequences of want to pull the remaining 27 members of this step. In the UK it goes from a Brussels point of view, chaotic to anarchic. In September there will probably be a Prime Minister who wants to take EU citizens in the UK as political hostages in the upcoming complex negotiations with the EU. The should only stay if the UK can get access to the coveted EU single market-an insidious Plan of the new conservative figurehead Teresa May.
On the other hand, the hard-liners in position, you want to, as the French President Hollande, let the British suffer. The fear of economic decline in Britain, announcing, plays into their hands. Recent opinion questions show that the first effect of deterrence is reached. The Brexit-shock has led some Euro-sceptic countries such as Denmark, Finland and Italy, too, better values for the EU. How long this effect lasts, whether weeks or months, nobody knows. Also the President of the EU Commission Jean-Claude Juncker follows in a weaker Form of this more confrontational path: The Brits out as quickly as possible. You may continue to act, but only if you pay like Norway, price and more immigration from the EU to allow.
Wait and drink tea?
German Chancellor Angela Merkel does what she always does: first of all, wait and see. And any pragmatic solution to be found to let the British and the Rest of the EU, not in the revolt of the sink. So also the EU, what she always does: she plays on time. Reflection-peaks in September and then in the spring, at the Anniversary summit of the treaties of Rome, a few ground-breaking decisions. Maybe.

The relative perplexity can be roughly divided into two camps: The social Democrats and liberals in the Parliament, headed by Parliament President Martin Schulz, calling for more Europe, more Integration, a European security government. That sounds like less sovereignty for the member States, and lengthy Changes to the European treaties. The visions of Martin Schulz, the German social Democrats in the Berlin coalition government only half-heartedly, would be a dramatic response to the Brexit, but have little chance in the real EU world.
The second camp, which responds with a powerful “better and faster” dominates. We could all use, just not a debate on procedures and methods, scolded the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi. The Dutch head of government, Marc Rutte, the EU is to continue with the arduous search for a compromise the same, but calls also for a rethinking, not to mention the direction. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble suggests, to circumvent the EU and to find compromises more likely to be in coalitions of the willing among the governments of the member States. Core Europe is better?

Brexit – the fear of The Domino effect (04.07.2016)
The southern countries of the EU after Brexit, the Chance to loosen up the framework of budgetary discipline, the Brussels allegedly dictated. The Northern countries would have to pay, reject the because of the Brexit now I have had nothing to do with the Euro and the necessary economy. Some of the Eastern members mix the Brexit with the distribution of refugees and asylum seekers. Even so, Britain had very little to do. Clearly politicians of the EU-only that there must be both for the economic crisis, as well as for the refugee crisis, a solution. Just what is it? In these questions, the Brexit is not welded together as a perceived threat, but to compete against rates even more days.
A lot of time for rational answers does not remain in the EU, because in the 2. October, the “super Sunday threatened”: Hungary votes on the Flüchltlingsverteilung, Austria on the next President. Both votes are, in principle, also the way of these countries in the EU. And in October, Italy also votes on constitutional reforms. This referendum can mutate due to the rampant EU-scepticism in Italy very quickly to an EU Referendum.
Two weeks after the Brexit fear is that it may be due to the opposing views in the Union, no big pitch, no incising reforms and a new impetus for the European project. The EU staggers lethargic on the abyss. Who has to stop the power and the political will, you?
