Former Belgian PM blows apart key BSE argument
A central argument of the pro-EU BSE [Britain Stronger in
Europe] campaign is that jobs are at risk if we leave the EU as Europe will stop
trading with us. However, former Belgian Prime Minister, Yves Leterme, told
Sky
News yesterday he did not find this to be a ‘convincing
argument’. He said that it is in the interest of the EU to have free trade with
the UK as ‘the European economy needs the UK market, close cooperation and
trade’.After we Vote Leave we will quickly strike a free trade
agreement with the EU. We will then be able to negotiate trade deals with some
of the world’s fastest growing economies such as India and China, something
which the EU has failed to do.
