COBCOE Statement on UK EU referendum result

“It is now imperative that businesses in the United Kingdom and across Europe are provided with clarity, support and representation given the potential changes to commerce in the future and the uncertainty we now face.

"We cannot ignore our trading community. They must be heard in any forthcoming negotiations if we are to see prosperous economies, if we are to see Britain and Europe compete in a changing, globalised commercial world.

"COBCOE has already presented the needs of businesses in its Evolving Europe report. We will continue to make sure these needs are met and will offer traders proper guidance and support as an informed, impartial and expert organisation that addresses business, not politics."
