Davos, Switzerland (CNN Business) European business and political leaders are ratcheting up the pressure on UK Prime Minister Theresa May to deliver an orderly Brexit.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel used her 30-minute address at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday to make clear that she doesn't want the United Kingdom to crash out of the bloc. But she did not mention any potential EU concessions that would sweeten the divorce deal the UK parliament rejected by a huge majority last week.

"We all have to live with the shock of Britain leaving the European Union," she said. "All of my efforts go to try and see that this is happening in a well ordered manner."

"The less complicated, the easier our relations, the better for all of us," Merkel added.
