Indeed, our British friends have decided to leave us - which is very sad for all of us - but life goes on, and the European Union as well goes on.

There is a need for the European Union to use all potential we have on defense cooperation.

The European Union will never see America, or an American president, as a risk.

The European Union remains a staunch supporter of the ICC and is committed to full co-operation on the prevention of serious crimes falling under the jurisdiction of the Court.

The British people have decided to leave. It is a sad decision but one which I respect. The vote puts the European Union in difficulties. It must recognise its shortfalls.

The European Union will continue to fully support multilateral global governance based on international law, human rights, and strong international institutions.
