Monday, 01 July, 2013

The Treaty on European Union provides for a Member State to leave the EU, either on the basis of a negotiated withdrawal agreement or without one.

There is no precedent for such an agreement, but it would in all likelihood come at the end of complex and lengthy negotiations.
