The decision is made: Most Britains have voted on the 23^th of June 2016 to leave the EU. What does that mean for Great Britain and the EU? "The referendum is not obligatory", says Professor Dr. Thomas Jäger of the Chair for International Relations and Foreign Policy at the University of Cologne. Talking to the radio station SR 2 KulturRadio he offers his opinion that it is now the turn of the British government to act.

Why he is comparing the reaction of the EU to a startled flock of chickens and how he hopes that the EU will have a change of thinking can be read and listened to here (in German):
