May day in the UK

Theresa May is now the new UK Prime Minister. Her most immediate task, as we see it from the EU side, should be to initiate the exit process soonest.

She might not agree with the urgency of it. But the European leaders must keep the pressure on her and help her to understand that there is no gain and no space for delaying manoeuvres. That´s what the European citizens expect from their leaders as well.

I recognise the actual negotiations might take long. Those negotiations are however about technical issues and the very specific points of the future relationship. They should be conducted within a clear political framework, well balanced and based on established principles and rules. It is that guiding framework that needs to be defined first and without any undue delay.
