After Brexit - Cross-Border Financial Service From The Uk Into The Eu - Alessandro Bizzozero

. .

Résumé :
A comprehensive assessment of the cross-border issues that will affect UK firms selling investment services and products after the UK has left the EU. We look at the situation where UK financial services firms are unable to make use of European passports, i.e. the UK as a third country in relation to the EU. The paper also looks at consequences for EEA and non-EEA firms wishing to market into the UK. Using the methodology that BRP Bizzozero & Partners has developed for assessment of cross-border activity, the paper provides a broad view of barriers to cross-border activity and applies this to the specific and so far unprecedented case of a major country such as the UK leaving the EU.
