TEHRAN, Mar 15 - A German official says if Britain is granted more time to decide on Brexit, the delay needs to be used productively.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Justice Minister Katarina Barley, who is half-British, told RBB radio Friday that "giving more time alone will produce no solution."
She says "I think the EU would be willing to give more time, but there must be some sort of a plan what should happen in this time."
Barley, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's junior coalition partner Social Democrats who is the party's lead candidate for European Parliament, added it makes no sense for Britain to participate in May European elections.
She says "politically it is somewhat absurd for a country that was supposed to already be out to take part in the vote for the whole institution."
