21 leaders of insurance and long-term savings associations across Europe have signed a letter urging the UK to remain a member of the EU.
The signatories include representatives from all the major markets in Europe. The letter states it is in the interests of both the UK and the entire EU that the UK votes to continue playing a full role as a full EU member.
“While the Referendum is clearly a matter for the British public to decide, there will be implications for all EU markets. We believe it is in everyone’s interest – the UK and the EU – for the UK to remain. And we will be watching and hoping that the result means that constructive relationship will continue with the UK playing a full role as a full EU member,” the letter said.
“The UK is an active and positive partner which also has a firm and critical eye and is willing to challenge as required. This brings results for the UK, and is healthy for the whole of the EU. No-one can doubt its contribution has been positive for all.”
