The EU has no choice but to negotiate a favorable treaty with the UK, to ensure that trade flows remain smooth.

$420bn of imports from Europe, with Germany alone accounting for $100bn. Everyone who thinks that the EU will engage in a spiteful act of "punishment" is engaged in self-delusion, because the EU would only destroy its own economy. After everyone has time to cool their heads, a calm and measured discussion will take place.
shhhh
@mike2000 is back please join me in telling others not to show us facts please
Markus may force the EU army to declare war against the US!!
On the other hand, thank you very much for posting this sir
@flamer84 @MarkusS I understand what u are going through, I used to a belong to a large state in India which was bifurcated in 2 just 2-3 years back.
The state had 3 regions-A,B &C
The region-A which had a highly developed state capital,IT & pharma industry & most of the state's revenue accused the other regions-B,C of being evil,showing political dominance & not caring about them(fueled by a bunch of jobless politicos & idiot leftist intellectuals & profs+jobless students ).
Many of them even talked about kicking all of those from B & C who had emigrated to A & the capital by force from their region, even those whose parents were from B & C & were born in A were to be kicked out.(Thankfully they calmed down+Courts & Central Government.)
& due to birfurcation they took everything & left B & C without a capital,money & a huge fiscal deficit leaving them to rebuild from start.Most of the revenue went to A & due to the law & other terms laid down,B & C(now 1 state) had to share their power(electricity) with them at "Reasonable" rates.
B & C who are now 1 state have a strong leader with a good vision, but a bankrupt state+lack of promised help from the centre
Today while A does well & credit themselves,B & C still suffer. Many cases regarding sharing of financial assets,real estate & other such stuff are in the courts.
Both of them abused & attacked each other & they still do.
Thus to an extent,I can understand what you are going through. Trust me I swear I am not lying
----------------------------------------
But the good news is this, Politicos & businessman from B & C invested heavily in A but forgot the vast & massive potential of their own region towards which they now look
If the vision of this state's new CM is followed & implemented with the Centre's vision for a new India, the state will be one of the top states in India in just 20 years & definitely better than A(now a state).
Same way, right now you are suffering a lot due to UK's decision.
Learn from the lessons & mistakes made & make the required changes to your Union to make sure the EU becomes a better,stronger & more amazing place on this planet
Remember what UK did to you & make sure u make them pay for it by making yourself better than them & outsmarting them.
That's what many in B-C now say about A
[P.S.:- India supported UK as part of the larger EU]
My best wishes to the EU & the UK & hope both can co-operate & get along well with each other
