Volker Wieland warns against new urge for "more Europe" after Brexit (dpa, FAZ, FNP, Deutsche Welle TV)

After the British voted "Leave" in the EU referendum Prof. Volker Wieland has warned against a new urge for "more Europe". "It would be a mistake to rush toward the "United States of Europe", he said to the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".

In his opinion, the narrow result does not need to be the final decision regarding the EU membership, he added.

For Wieland, Great Britain does not automatically need to withdraw from the EU after the referendum. "There are ways to prevent this exit", he said in an interview with "Deutsche Welle TV".
