Britain: CBI warning over economic future if Britain leaves the EU

The head of the country’s biggest business group has claimed that Britain remaining a full member of the European Union is “fundamental” to the UK’s economic success.

John Cridland, the director general of Britain’s biggest business group, CBI, told the Observer that the UK’s membership of the EU “supports jobs, drives growth, and boosts our international competitiveness”.

He said the EU is the UK’s biggest export market and that it “remains fundamental to our economic future”.

Cridland’s comments come as David Cameron warned that Jean-Claude Juncker’s appointment as president of the EU Commission would make it harder to persuade the UK’s public to remain in Europe in the run up to the promised in/out referendum in 2017.
