Juncker says 2 years not enough for Brexit

Jean-Claude Juncker believes it will take longer than two years to agree on all the arrangements for Britain to leave the European Union, he said on Thursday.


"I do not think .. we will succeed within 24 months to clear up the arrangements for Britain's exit from the EU and to (forge) the whole relationship between Britain and the European continent," he said in a speech on the sidelines of the international Munich Security Conference.

British Prime Minister Theresa May has said she will trigger Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty in March to launch divorce talks that can last up to two years.
