UK manufacturers insist country must stay in EU
Print Edition
Britain must remain part of the European Union, the nation’s manufacturers have insisted, according to a survey published yesterday and ahead of a referendum on membership.
British manufacturing lobby group, EEF, said 85 percent of its members who expressed a view said they would vote for Britain to remain in the EU.
“The UK must remain part of the European Union with ‘no ifs or buts,’ Britain’s manufacturers have told the Prime Minister (David Cameron) and party leaders in a major report and survey published today,” the EEF said.
Cameron, whose Conservative party heads a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats, has pledged to win back some powers from Brussels and then put the new terms of Britain’s EU membership to the public in an in-out referendum by the end of 2017.
Cameron is seeking a majority in the 2015 general election but faces pressure on the right from the anti-EU UK Independence Party.
EEF Chief Executive Terry Scuoler said EU membership was key to British manufacturers’ business growth and investment plans.
“Britain must not gamble on its future in Europe. The stakes are enormous,” he said.
