The president of the European Parliament, wants Britain to begin formal negotiations to quit the EU as early as tomorrow amid fears Cameron’s delaying tactics will harm the EU economy.

He told a German newspaper that the UK should submit it's request to leave the EU at the leaders summit in Brussels.

“A delay that only serves the tactical interests of the British conservatives is damaging to everyone,” Schulz told Bild am Sonntag, the German tabloid’s Sunday edition.

Schultz has been a bulldog when it comes to rushing Britain into a decision, he warned a long delay would threaten to destabilise the EU and threaten jobs in Europe.

German companies, who have business ties with Britain are particularly concerned over the long period of limbo.

Schulz is not the only foreign politician wading into British politics, with French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault calling for Cameron to be replaced within days in a bid to railroad Britain into potentially punitive exit negotiations.
