eanine Hennis-Plasschaert, Holland’s Defence Minister, said the result of Thursday’s historic referendum is a “watershed in European history”.

And she insisted the EU needs to be more “effective” and “convincing” amid fears other countries are keen to follow the UK out the exit door.

She said: “The shock of the referendum should be a wake-up call to us all. The sentiments of many British voters are shared in many other member states.

“Europe is facing huge challenges, so we need an EU that is protecting its borders, providing economic opportunities, and keeping threats at bay.

“Neither Europe as a whole, nor any single nation, can isolate itself from a world in turmoil. And we must cope with this turmoil together as best we can.

“We need unity because terrorists will not hesitate to strike us again. We need unity to control the huge flows of migrants moving towards this continent.
