Thank you for sharing your views with me following the result of the United Kingdom's Referendum.
I am sad about the choice of the British people. The European Commission worked hard to keep the United Kingdom in the European Union.
European leaders offered the United Kingdom a fair deal that reflected their hope that the United Kingdom remained part of the European Union.
This is an unprecedented situation but the European Union will stand strong and uphold its core values of promoting peace and the well-being of its peoples.
I truly hope that the United Kingdom will be a close partner of the European Union in the future.
I wish you well
Jean-Paul Juncker.
