(MENAFN) On Sunday, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker denied the European Union (EU) being behind any consequence coming out of Brexit and is "in no way responsible".
Speaking to Sky News, the commission head emphasized that the EU ought to steer clear of being held responsible for what is a "British decision".
The chief pointed out that "the European Union is not leaving the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union."
Juncker stressed "the EU is in no way responsible for any kind of consequences entailed by the Brexit," adding "that's a British decision, a sovereign decision that we are respecting but don't try to charge the European Union with the responsibility."
