French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls on Thursday said the EU could not allow Britain to keep the advantages of membership of the bloc without also bearing the disadvantages in Brexit talks.
Valls noted that it could encourage other countries to leave.
“Europe is in danger of breaking apart and could fail,’’ Valls said during a trip to the German capital on Thursday.
He added that European projects needed a new basis with Germany and France showing strength.
At an event in Berlin organised by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, Valls warned that France, which will hold elections in 2017, faced a potentially perilous moment due to the far-right.
Valls also said France must continue its reforms, including lowering corporate tax.
He, however, added that it needed Germany to make efforts regarding investment. (Reuters/NAN)
