You have an odd way of ignoring his irrelevant posts.

You're so right Noesall, I'm still experimenting to try and find the right technique; can't work out the right look that I'm after.

 

[noseall]

can't work out the right look that I'm after.

Try the country gent look. That would be tan corduroy trousers, check shirt, cloth tie, burgundy waistcoat topped off with a tweed cap.

Naw, wouldn't work for me, sounds more like a Simon Callw outfit; but thanks for the suggestion though.

Incorrect. The EU have more to lose if they no longer have access to London banking. Even Barnier realises thats the case.

https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/e...the-whole-of-europe-says-think-tank-economist

Analysts at the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) say the number of UK companies which would lose the right to trade in the EU would be high at 5,500 but the number of EU companies which would lose access to the UK would be higher at 8,000.

I do not think I need to discuss the percentage difference of UK's 5,500 companies compared to EU's 8,000 companies.

The point of these statistics is to state the obvious: Politicians in the United Kingdom and the rest of the European Union should be constructive about Brexit. If financial service companies move out of London, it is unlikely that many would relocate to another EU city. Financial centers outside of the European Union would be more likely to attract the business(link is external) because other EU financial centers rank so much lower.

An article from the Guardian

Michel Barnier wants a “special” relationship with the City of London after Britain has left the bloc, according to unpublished minutes seen by the Guardian that hint at unease about the costs of Brexit on continental Europe.

Barnier told a private meeting of MEPs this week that special work was needed to avoid financial instability, according to a European parliament summary of the session. “Some very specific work has to be done in this area,” he said, according to the minutes. “There will be a special/specific relationship. There will need to be work outside of the negotiation box … in order to avoid financial instability.”

And seemingly well after the referendum vote.

And Paris is still down at no 26 in world rankings.

That is a misframed statement

That relates to 'the number of companies able to trade in the EU, or Uk.

Utter nonsense. All UK companies can trade (currently and vice versa) in EU. Whether they choose to do so is up to them.
Although there are currently grey areas around insurance companies.

In addition:

So, if Vote Leave's 6% estimate is right, that would suggest 324,000 exporting companies: considerably higher than Britain Stronger in Europe's "over 200,000", a figure which includes importers as well as exporters.

I shall not bother looking for how many EU companies choose to trade with/in UK.

But the European Central Bank were well aware of this when they chose to insist that euro transactions were processed within the eurozone.
They will be free to insist again after Brexit, without the UK having recourse to the ECJ.

Well I did because the information was so readily available:

According to the European Commission Enterprise and Industry, there are more than 23 million SMEs in the EU, representing 99% of all European businesses.

http://www.globalsmallbusinessblog.com/2011/03/how-many-smes-in-eu.html

So 5,000 of 320,000 companies in UK (using Vote Leave's figure) compared to 8,000 of 23,000,000 in EU.
There is little point in doing the maths. the difference is obvious and immense, even though the UK's 320,000 may be included in the EU figure.

Any way back to the OP register to vote

Neither did you bother to read far enough to see what the numbers refer to:

Data from the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority show around 5,500 UK firms rely on passporting to do financial business in Europe.(link is external) However, more than 8,000 European firms rely on passporting to do business in the United Kingdom. So the European Commission has as much of an incentive to reach a deal on the free flow of financial services as does the UK government.

More EU firms rely on passporting to do business in UK.

Why did you post the total number of companies? -it has nothing to do with it whatsoever.

 

[transam]

are you (Notch7) talking or answering way har bee ??

waste of time he has probably posted up some war & peace long post down loaded off of the net or taken off of Mr Mullers data base

Of course EU will want to take back euro transactions.

But the point you are avoiding is that London is the largest financial market in the world.

And it will continue to be a major market on the world stage.

And the EU need to continue access to it.
