Anders Vistisen said the union risks being “overshadowed and left behind” if it continues to hit out at the UK for voting to leave.
The Vice Chair of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, took a swipe at the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Guy “Mr Brexit” Verhofstadt who called Theresa May’s pledge to deliver a new EU trade deal by 2019 “impossible”.
He warned if the EU does not “appreciate and work constructively with the UK’s objectives” it risks being overcome by popular discontent and “Denmark could well be the next country to leave the bloc”.
Writing on Brexit Central, he said: “Dozens of countries have already been lining up to do free trade deals with Britain.
“In order to avoid being overshadowed and left behind, the European Union should stop talking about Brexit in a negative and defensive way.
“It is high time that it abandons its arrogance and faces the reality as it is, not as it wishes it to be.
