    As I have advised many times before, boomers are generally considered those born between 1946 and 1966.

    The EU could also lose a lot if a number negotiations are not concluded within the time period - remember that the EU does get quite a lot out of trading with the UK. It would seem pragmatic to make sure both sides are happy (as much as possible) than to flick a switch and potentially leave nasty holes on both sides that would be unnecessary.

    In that case, perhaps you should be directing your attention to the UK in that they have voted to leave and now should invoke article 50 immediately so that negotiations can be started.

    Article 50 does not need to be invoked for negotiations to start.

    simply a political stanz that, as usual ignores the best interests of the people of the EU: have they been asked?
    Mind you, they could probably better spend some time considering what to do about the appalling level of unemployment in some of the EU countries
    or even worrying about the Italian banking crisis

    Simple a political stance. As usual ignores the best interest of the people to the UK.

    Do you genuinely believe that there are no economic remedies available that could massively reduce unemployment in the southern EU countries?

    I'm very happy to discuss the failures of the UK due to political bigotry: what issues do you have in mind?

    There are plenty, but the failure to implement them is probably more the fault of national governments than the EU at large.
