Authority: European Authorities - European Union: European Parliament

Date: 06/28/2016

Subject: The European Parliament stresses that the will of the majority of the citizens of the United Kingdom should be respected via a swift and coherent implementation of the withdrawal procedure; moreover it stresses that the current challenges require reflection on the future of the EU: there is a need to reform the Union and make it better and more democratic; it notes that while some Member States may choose to integrate more slowly or to a lesser extent, the core of the EU must be reinforced and à la carte solutions should be avoided; it considers that the need to promote our common values, provide stability, social justice, sustainability, growth and jobs, overcome persistent economic and social uncertainty, protect citizens and address the challenge of migration requires developing and democratising, in particular, the Economic and Monetary Union and the area of freedom, security and justice, as well as strengthening the common foreign and security policy; it considers therefore that the reforms must result in a Union which delivers what citizens expect
