Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is a mechanism under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union which allows a Member State to withdraw from the EU. The process involves notifying the European Council of its intention to withdraw, negotiating the terms of withdrawal with the EU, and obtaining the approval of the European Parliament and Council of the EU. The withdrawal will become effective two years after the notification unless an extension is agreed by all parties. There is no requirement for the five-year notice as mentioned in choice B, and choice C is incorrect as withdrawal from the EU is possible.
