Germany's BDI industry group statement, Reuters reporting

  • Britain is heading towards a disorderly exit from the European Union
  • could have disastrous consequences for its economy and those of its partners in the bloc

"Two years after the referendum, Britain is drifting unstoppably towards a disorderly Brexit. "The British government is still playing for time. This strategy leads to disaster. A clear course correction is needed."

More:

  • To avoid such an outcome the British government must agree to remain in the EU's single market and customs union and accept EU jurisdiction as the reference for settling any future disputes
  • That was also the only way to avoid the reimposition of controls at the border between British-ruled Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic after Brexit
