Article 50
----------

1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance 
with its own constitutional requirements.

2. A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European 
Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the 
European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement 
with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking 
account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. 
That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of 
the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be 
concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified 
majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.

3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the 
date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, 
two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the 
European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, 
unanimously decides to extend this period.

4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the member of the European 
Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State 
shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or 
Council or in decisions concerning it.
A qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 
238(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

5. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to rejoin, its 
request shall be subject to the procedure referred to in Article 49.
