She also touched upon the market uncertainty provoked by the UK referendum on leaving the EU.
Merkel reportedly said this was not the time for deepening cooperation between member states, arguing instead for the need to focus on ever-present issues facing the union, chief among them border security, international security and the creation of jobs at home.

According to the spokesman, “if the [UK] government needs a reasonable amount of time to do that, we respect that.”
