British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday said the UK would remain a "fully engaged and active member" of the European Union until it eventually leaves the 28-nation bloc.

May was speaking at a news conference in Copenhagen alongside her Danish counterpart, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who described the UK's decision to leave the EU as "tragic."

"I can assure you that we will miss you when you leave," Rasmussen added.

May reiterated her stance that the process for the UK's departure would be triggered no later than March 2017, but added that she expected "to be able to guarantee the legal rights of EU nationals already in the UK," as long as the rights of Britons residing in the EU were maintained.

The former British Home Secretary also stated that the UK would continue its obligations as a full EU member until the point of its departure.

"We (Denmark and the UK) joined the European Union together 44 years ago in 1972, so having that history in mind, and having in mind that we have worked closely together within the European Union, and that we look eye-to-eye on many different issues - sound fiscal policy, free trade, efficient institutions, etcetera - I must say that I frankly think it is tragic that the UK is leaving the European Union. But, the British have made their decision, and of course we respect that - and there's no way around the divorce. But I can assure you that we will miss you when you leave."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Theresa May, British Prime Minister:

"But of course we are leaving the EU, so if I turn to Brexit, Lars and I have already talked about the work we are doing in the United Kingdom to prepare for those exit negotiations. As I said last week, we will formally trigger the process of leaving no later than the end of March next year, and I hope it can be a smooth and orderly departure. That's in the interests of Britain, but I think it's in the interests of all other European countries as well. The relationship will be different in the future because we won't be members of the Union, but I want the agreement that we come to to reflect the kind of mature, cooperative relationship that close friends and allies have. And, as part of that, I expect to be able to guarantee the legal rights of EU nationals already in the UK, so long as the British nationals living in Europe - in countries who are member states of the EU - receive the same treatment."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Theresa May, British Prime Minister:

"Now while the UK remains a member of the EU, we will meet our various rights and obligations. We will be a fully engaged and active member of the EU until the point at which we leave, and that's how I'm approaching this first European Council meeting that I will be attending later this month, and we want to work with our European partners. We want to ensure a consistent and firm response to Russian aggression, we want to do more to address the root causes of mass migration that is affecting people and those movements into Europe and, as you have said Lars, I think we want to stand up for free trade. We want to ensure that people recognise the importance of free trade as a spur to economic growth. That's something on which I think we think very much alike, and on which we firmly agree, and we certainly want to be taking that argument forward and continuing to promote free trade."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Emmanuel Macron, French President:

"Europe needs an actual autonomy and an actual independence, an actual sovereignty from a defense point of view. That's why we took a series of decisions at the European level during the past year in order to create new cooperation, a new fund and now a new initiative - and Denmark joined this initiative which is part of this new European sovereignty in terms of defense. And for me, it's not something against the US. Absolutely not. It's something for us. We need it. And we need it, as well, to be credible vis-à-vis the US."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Emmanuel Macron, French President:

"We are doing some investments at the Elysée Palace because now we're there but before joining (moving in), we made an investment at the house, for windows precisely, in order to reduce the electricity cost (host: 'window of opportunity') and for climate change. And I mean, that's how to reconcile climate and economy. For me, the most important global challenge is CO2 emissions. I mean, obviously, you have biodiversity, the oceans and so on but asked me for one: CO2 emissions. Which means, on mobility, on companies, on our way to produce electricity, we have to make a big change."

6. Mid of student asking question

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Danish Prime Minister:

"I do not fear a domino effect (of Brexit) because if you look at the UK these days, it is obvious that they are starting to suffer from it and I'm pleased to say that if you ask the Danes, they are more pro-Europe now than before the referendum. I think Brexit is a reminder of what we have taken for granted. 10 percent of the Danish GDP is directly linked to our participation in the Single Market. So, I mean, there's no way we should leave the European Union."

8. Wide of Macron and Rasmussen with student in foreground

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Danish Prime Minister:

"The inequalities could lead us to a situation where people turn their backs to globalization and of course we have issues in Denmark as well but I think, we have been, together with Sweden and other countries, better than many other countries, to redistribute prosperity amongst ourselves and for that reason, the Danes are opened towards the rest of the world and towards changes."

Host: "Thank you very much Mr. Prime Minister."

STORYLINE:

Denmark can do more in Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron declared on Tuesday as he pushed for a more closely united European Union and a continent that takes more responsibility for its own defence.

On the first day of a two-day visit, Macron pressed the case that the EU shouldn't rely so much on the United States for its own security.

Denmark has a defence opt-out clause in its EU ties, meaning it does not take part in military matters. The Danish government and a majority of lawmakers want the defense waiver to be removed but are hesitant about calling a referendum on it since previous votes on the topic have been defeated twice.

Macron's visit came as France's high-profile environment minister Nicolas Hulot unexpectedly announced his resignation on national radio Tuesday, dealing a blow to the French president's lofty green ambitions.

Macron was greeted by Denmark's Queen Margrethe at Copenhagen Airport and laid a wreath at a monument for fallen Danish soldiers before his talks with the Danish prime minister. Later he was joining a debate with students.

Macron also was to visit the site of the February 14th, 2015, militant attack in Copenhagen that left two dead and five wounded.

France's departing ambassador to Denmark, François Zimeray, had attended a freedom of speech event targeted by the lone gunman, Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, who sprayed venue with gunfire and killed a bystander. Zimeray was unharmed.

El-Hussein later was also behind a second shooting outside Copenhagen's main synagogue where a guard was killed. The shooter was shot dead hours later.

On Wednesday, Macron will start a two-day visit to Helsinki, where he meets Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Juha Sipila.

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Theresa May, British Prime Minister:

"Of course crucially we will be out of the single market and we'll be out of the free movement rules and we will be setting our own rules for migration into United Kingdom, and we recognise the concern that people in the UK have about this issue of net migration into the UK, which is why we set ourselves a target in relation to net migration and want to continue to work to ensure that we address that particular target. But as I say, I recognise that UK citizens will still want to come and study and work in countries in the EU 27, like Denmark, and EU citizens like Danish citizens will still want to come and work and study in the European Union, in the UK."

STORYLINE:

British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Monday the UK will "continue to work to ensure that we address" the target of cutting net annual immigration below 100,000.

May said however she recognised "that UK citizens will still want to come and study and work in countries in the EU 27, like Denmark, and EU citizens like Danish citizens will still want to come and work and study in the European Union, in the UK."

She was speaking in Copenhagen.

Nigel Farage, the former leader of Britain's anti-EU UK Independence Party (UKIP), said on Wednesday that 2016 had been the "year of the outsider", that newsrooms needed to be more representative, and that the internet could be "very dangerous" in the wrong hands.

He also singled out Sweden's failure to debate controversial topics such as immigration, and had an angry exchange with a German journalist, saying journalists needed to "try a bit of listening".

Farage's comments came in a keynote speech delivered at News Xchange, a major annual news industry gathering, which is taking place this year in Copenhagen, Denmark.

"You can shout at me, you can get upset, but cheer up everybody. It has been the most fantastic, uplifting, amazing year. There has been the outbreak of nation-state democracy. It's a virulent disease and it's going to sweep the entire western world, in my opinion."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, Former leader of the UK Independence Party:

"2016 has been the year of the political revolution, it has been the year of the outsiders, but remember that what made Brexit happen and what got (US President-elect Donald) Trump elected were a lot of little people who don't normally vote at all, but have simply had enough and want to vote for change."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, Former leader of the UK Independence Party:

"So nobody has made better use of social media and the internet than me, and of course Trump has done exactly the same thing. So I think the internet can be very liberating, I think the internet means that governments simply can't lie to us anymore in the way that they used to, but the internet equally can be a very bad thing and a very dangerous thing, and through the internet alone, if people's trust goes away from you guys and goes completely to the internet, there is a genuine and real danger that perhaps very dangerous or bad ideas will take hold."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, Former leader of the UK Independence Party:

"I think that the broadcasters and media in the wake of 2016 need to press the reset button. I never thought I'd say this, but I think you have got to be more responsible and you have got to be more representative."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, Former leader of the UK Independence Party:

"I have to say that, on Trump, it wasn't just you that was wrong, everybody was wrong, but I had a very good bet at 5-1 and I've enjoyed 2016, even if you haven't."

Sweden, where you cannot, through the Swedish media, have any intelligent debate about immigration, about crime statistics, and they are almost completely in denial about the growth of this political party that is now polling over 25 percent in the opinion polls."
