'Come all the way' back to EU, French finance minister tells UK
Roland Lescure said Britain could return anytime as EU leaders weigh rules that would give bloc firms priority for contracts and subsidies.
- French Finance Minister Roland Lescure invited Britain to "come all the way" back to Europe, after Prime Minister Andy Burnham signalled a second Brexit referendum was "possible" in a future Labour election manifesto.
- Last week, Burnham said Britain needed to "consider the options," ranging from staying as is, rejoining European systems, or going "all the way." This reflected growing debate over Britain's EU relationship.
- Burnham recently warned that planned European rules to help European manufacturers against Chinese competitors would damage British industry and supply chains through the planned scheme.
- Addressing Britain's potential exclusion from the scheme, Lescure said: "Come back, and you'll be at the table, and we discuss all these things together."
- France's annual public borrowing of over 5% of its GDP is "alarming," Lescure acknowledged, with borrowing costs rising higher than Germany due to market pressures.
