Britain 'may never' trigger the formal divorce process with the EU despite last week's referendum in which the country voted to leave, EU diplomats have said. Despite growing pressure from EU leaders, Cameron was not expected to trigger Article 50 at an EU summit on Tuesday, another senior EU official said. "My personal belief is they will never notify" the EU about their intention to leave, a senior EU diplomat said yesterday on condition of anonymity. "We want London to trigger Article 50 now, to have clarity. A state leaving the EU must formally notify the European Council of all 28 EU leaders under Article 50 of the 2007 Lisbon Treaty, setting the clock ticking on a two-year period for Britain to negotiate its divorce.
