El Pais.

In El País, Director of Spanish think-tank CIDOB Jordi Vaquer argues, “Many European projects and initiatives would look very different without the UK's contribution. Without the UK, it’s hard to imagine that the EU would have dared to break up hugely influential national monopolies like those of telephone companies and airlines. Without the UK, the EU loses not only military, academic and financial clout, but also a country that has showed much greater capacity to renew its public administration and policies than its counterparts on the continent.”
Sooooo! They NEED us, eh?
