Oliver Zander, director general of the Federation of German Employers’ Associations in the Metal and Electrical Engineering Industries, told a German news agency: “There has to be balance between the interest of the business community, to keep the British as integrated as possible, and the wish of the UK to adapt free movement. “The German metal and electrical engineering industries deliver more than £46billion worth of products to the UK each year. We should do everything to prevent a rupture. Otherwise we only damage each other.” _______________ Foreign Office Minister Tobias Ellwood, who accompanied Mr Johnson to a global summit on terror in Washington last week, said: “It was a very successful trip where everyone seemed very receptive to our plans for Britain’s future. “Obviously it’s early days and we need to be realistic – leaving the EU is not going to be a straightforward process but the simple fact is other countries want to do business with us. “Boris was given a very warm welcome by his foreign counterparts. His first week in office has been somewhat of a baptism of fire with Nice, Turkey, US Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit and then Washington and New York but he’s getting stuck into the job" |

The only question I would ask, is if that kind of deal is on offer, surely it would (political considerations aside, which could surely be resolved our end by a second referendum ?) be better for everyone if we just stay in the EU and keep the influence that goes with that in terms of negotiating position etc ?. |

Not really the original quote.
It was a fine thread though.

If they offered EU membership with a 7 year break on migration then would that deliver for the Leavers? Or could it be put to another referendum....?

It's his job, not mine, I'm afraid. He is the BBS Archivist.

Britain faces exclusion from one of the glowing successes of European Union membership: a university study programme that has benefited tens of thousands of British young people and many more from the EU visiting Britain.
Exclusion from Erasmus would also have what one vice-chancellor called “a stunning impact” on university finances, alongside the crisis facing funds for science, research and other grants. There are 120,000 students from EU countries at UK universities, of which 27,401 are through Erasmus with their fees paid by the EU. To view the link you have to Register or Login

One issue there is that I think to be in the EEA (as we are now) you either have to be in the EU or EFTA. So if we did leave the EU then EFTA would have to let us join them & I'm not sure that's a given as it wasn't designed for big economies. Not ruling it out, just wondering whether Norway & Iceland would balk at the idea of their club becoming a bit lopsided.

EFTA;
In the first meeting since the Brexit vote, the EFTA organisation reacted by saying they were open to a UK return. Swiss President Johann Schneider-Ammann told reporters that its return would strengthen the association |

Many years ago of course but weren't we in it at the beginning?
