Brexit
#Luxembourg chun samhail ‘tarmligin’ a mholadh tar éis #Brexit a deir an tAire Airgeadais
Luxembourg’s Finance Minister Pierre Gramegna (sa phictiúr) said on Friday (19 January) the European Commission should stick to the current rules that allow funds managed in London to be domiciled and regulated in another country, scríobhann Tomo Uetake.
His comments pit the tiny and wealthy country against some eurozone heavyweights, which want to tighten ‘delegation’ rules in a post-Brexit Europe to attract more financial firms to their own countries.
Gramegna said Luxembourg is offering a pragmatic solution to problems Brexit will cause, by becoming a home to subsidiaries of London-based financial firms.
“We are saying delegation has worked well and is posing no problems and it should not be changed. When I say it works well, it means that investors are well protected,” Gramegna told Reuters in an interview in Tokyo.
“You don’t change something that’s working and where there is no problem - so no need to make major changes,” said Gramegna, one of the currency bloc’s longest-serving ministers, and who was once a candidate to replace Jeroen Dijsselbloem as the powerful head of finance ministers, the Eurogroup.
According to the finance minister, London is the largest country of origin of funds for Luxembourg, accounting for 17%, or €4.1 trillion (3.62tr pounds).
“The (European) Commission, we are just beginning the discussion so we will participate proactively in that discussion,” he added.
