Britain does not have &quot;months to meditate&quot; on the next steps following the Brexit vote, European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said on Tuesday. 
 
&quot;I have some understanding for the fact that (Prime Minister) David Cameron wants to have some time in order to meditate,&quot; Juncker told a news conference after an EU summit. 
 
&quot;We want Article 50 (of the Lisbon Treaty formally stating Britain&#39;s intention to leave) to be triggered as soon as possible. It has to be speeded up. We don&#39;t have months to meditate, we have to act.&quot; 
 
Juncker added: &quot;What I don&#39;t understand is that those who wanted to leave (the EU) are totally unable to tell us what they want.&quot; 
 
&quot;I thought that if you want to leave you have a plan, you have a project, you have a global picture,&quot; he said. 
 
Juncker also said that he expected Britain to trigger Article 50 very soon after Cameron&#39;s successor is named on September 9. 
 
&quot;If someone from the &#39;Remain&#39; camp will become British PM this has to be done in two weeks after his appointment,&quot; he said. 
 
&quot;If the next British PM is coming from the &#39;Leave&#39; campaign it should be done the day after his appointment.&quot; 
 
EU president Donald Tusk meanwhile said leaders appreciated that the situation needs to calm down in Britain following the Brexit vote before the next steps can be taken. 
 
&quot;The leaders understood that some time is needed for the dust to settle,&quot; Tusk said.
