The Swiss bankers’ association has proposed an alliance with London and leading non-European international financial centres to help thrash out deals on access to EU markets.
Switzerland, London, Hong Kong and Singapore would pool ideas and resources under a plan put forward by Patrick Odier, chairman of the Swiss association.
The proposal to create a “F4” alliance follows the British vote last month to leave the EU, which would mean London joining Switzerland as a financial centre operating outside the bloc.
Financial services in the UK may face difficulties serving customers in the EU following the separation, raising fears about the long-term future of international banks using London as a base.
“Co-ordinating our efforts would make it easier and quicker to discuss issues and come to solutions over challenges with the EU,” said Mr Odier. Switzerland has about a quarter of the global cross-border asset management business, with its banks specialising in the management of the wealth of rich families and entrepreneurs around the world.
The country voted against EU membership in the early 1990s and since then Swiss businesses have secured access to EU markets via a web of bilateral contracts.
But the future of those contracts has been thrown into doubt by a Swiss referendum in 2014 demanding quotas on immigration from the EU. If implemented, this decision would violate an agreement with the EU on the free movement of people. As a result of the stand-off, negotiations with the EU about a deal on financial services have been shelved.
The Swiss bankers’ association first suggested launching a “F4” financial centres group in 2012. “It is now time to relaunch the initiative,” Mr Odier said.

>>80253897
The UK’s planned break with the EU would make an alliance with Switzerland more attractive to London, he said, adding that it would also be welcomed by the EU which would rely heavily on the two financial centres to finance future economic growth.
“Together, they [the UK and Switzerland] would be even more important in contributing to the development of a European capital market and financing European industry than they were separately before. That is where I see a huge and interesting area of collaboration,” Mr Odier said.
Under his proposals, a “F4” group would co-ordinate positions on global financial regulation and access to the EU market. The aim would be to establish international standards, to avoid the duplication of efforts, to pool expertise and to speed up dealmaking.
The UK vote has led to turmoil in European financial markets, but Swiss bankers believe they could benefit as investors seek havens to invest their money.
“Switzerland’s financial centre...generally benefits from any type of uncertainty — with the caveat that an unstable relationship between the UK and Europe and an unstable Europe are not beneficial for neighbouring financial centres,” Mr Odier said.
Uncertainly about Switzerland’s future relationship with the EU was a “big unresolved challenge”, he added

With the UK out we can form a formidable counter-bloc and bend the EU over on free movement. The Swiss don't want it, we don't want it, and the Norwegians probably don't want it.

I'm frankly rather looking forward to all these possibilities. We're headed straight off the cliff as things are, so we might as well see if we can't shake things up and come up with something even slightly more sensible.

>>
>>80253270
So just kick the Swiss banks out of the EU market. Big fucking deal, they arent selling services anyway. The entire Swiss banking model is focused around managing other peoples money so that they can evade taxes. Switzerland has literally no fucking leverage. In fact, they heavily depend on the EU because more and more people are abandoning Swiss banks and get their money to Singapore and Hing Kong because either is less likely to be bullied by western authorities to give up information.

Actually, no.

You guys set up the EFTA in the 1960's to act as a counterweight to the EC, and it was a major failure.
You then decided to join the EC so you could push your agendas from within.
Your politicians aren't cucks, they knew what they were doing, and most importantly, 67% of you voted by referendum to remain in the EC in 1975.
>muh democracy

Ever since, and especially since Thatcher, the UK have been fucking up the whole thing, blocking every step toward a unification, even though you willingfully joined an ongoing process whose goals were crystal clear to all its founding members.

You're one of the reasons the EU is being heavily criticized nowadays: you did your best in the last 30 years to take it off tracks and turn it into a hollow neoliberal heaven.
Most Europeans are glad you're out tbfh, because you won't be able to do that anymore.

You want to keep living in a time long passed and prevent the Hasburg invading Britain, be my guest.
The rest of us will just move on to secure our common values in a globalised and diverse world.

EFTA was a success, it just wasn't as successful as the EC. It only started to falter after we and some of the others joined the EU.

> 67% of you voted by referendum to remain in the EC in 1975.

Because in 1975 the people were told it was a purely economic arrangement. Pic related was the actual ballot. The people would never have agreed to political union.

> Ever since, and especially since Thatcher, the UK have been fucking up the whole thing, blocking every step toward a unification

I don't deny we're been the most eurosceptic nation in the union, we were always in this for the money. But Tony Blair was just as into this European project as the most insane people in Brussels.

> You want to keep living in a time long passed and prevent the Hasburg invading Britain, be my guest.

I simply want to live in a country where my politicians are accountable to me and our local interests are a priority. More democracy, more freedom, less centralisation of power is always better.

Daily reminder that the cucks that voted leave because of financial reasons should get their voting rights revoked.

The leave/remain referendum was a matter of principles and what future direction the country should take. Not a matter of financial direction.

This is the thing I don't get either. Supposedly leaving EU fucks them up economically, but wouldn't leaving EU restrictions and allowing your own country to trade with whoever you want with your own agreements be better for the economy?

EFTA was established as a counterweight to the EC, it failed at this purpose.
There's literally no arguing to be had about that.
It still serves a purpose for those still in it, but it didn't achieve its original goal.

>Because in 1975 the people were told it was a purely economic arrangement.
Well it wasn't, and everyone knew it.

I refuse to believe the British people in the 70's would be as gullible and uneducated as you imply though.
I rather think that the turning point clearly is Thatcher and the rise of neoliberal policies and the cultural and societal impacts it had on Britain's society.
Even though England have always been more culturally insular, from that moment and on, the English people truly became hostiles to the European project they joined.

>I simply want to live in a country where my politicians are accountable to me and our local interests are a priority. More democracy, more freedom, less centralisation of power is always better.
You don't burn down Westminster and secedes from the Crown every time something's wrong in the country, do you?
You rather reform it and fix the problem.

The main problem though is that the UK is precisely the one that have been blocking any kind of political reform in the EU that would've granted more democratic control over its institutions, because it inherently implies to deepen the unification process, for several reasons.
Considering this, that the British people would complain about the lack of democratic control is just plainly illogical and/or hypocritical.
That truly is my main grief about Brexit: it's intellectually retarded.

>Somehow I don't envy the cultural enrichment going on in France these days. I look forward to seeing how that works out for you.

My future is not letting my culture and way of life be either dictated or altered by global powers such as the US, China and a couple more potential emergent powers.

KEK. You seriously believe that whole of Europe shares French values Liberty, egality, brotherhood? There are fundamental differences for example how Germans, Scandinavians, Poles view society. Poles are pretty liberal and in general are against any gibmedats, and want minimal government (mostly), Scandinavians believe in government providing all social needs and that they are part of the government. Germans want free choice, but well regulated (look up german healthcare system). Government is to provide order nad ensure smooth sailing of society. What I'm saying here there are fundamental differences how each nations in Europe view role of the government. Thus we can speed up to a conclusion that forcing views of larger EU nations how democracy and society should look on other nation is not going to work. Eu has to respect these differences or it will fail like any other union that did same mistakes (Kalmar union etc.)

It's not entirely true, if you've been to states you would see that there are quite huge differences regarding individuality and collectivity. You can't lump US into one big basket, althrough US is more ideologically uniform as it is one state and interstate mobility has been much higher than mobility between different EU countries for far longer.
In Poland (mind you this is generalization), we believe that we should help others and provide very basic healthcare safety net. It should be last resort you use, before exhausting other options. Primarily responsibility lies on the individual, then family, societal organisations such as charities and after that it is responsibility of the government.
Regarding Finland (I'm also half-finn), the approach is that the nail standing down will be hammered down, this leads towards extreme collectivism, not even seen in France or Germany. Finns are more like asians in this regards. Althrough instead of Family the burden goes more first to the state and after that to the family, and as last resort to the societal organisations.
>>
>>80274113
Your description of Poland is a lot like how the traditional European-stock Americans think. I make more money than I need to survive, and I'm more than happy to help pay for some safety nets because sometimes fucked up things happen. A friend of mind wound up with a $100k emergency that wasn't his fault, and neither he nor his family could pay for that, so he had to apply and quality for government assistance, and it pretty much all got taken care of.

But you're right that there are plenty of other groups of people here who think differently about how to run things. A lot of people either think that free stuff is free, or that it's not your responsibility to voluntarily lend a hand to those in need, or whatever else.
>>
This has been a good year.
>>
>>80272668
Also I would add perception of democracy as something different in each EU country.
In Poland we like strong leadership, we are more american in this way, and more likely two party system would work better in Poland, (perhaps voting system more similar to that in the UK). In Finland you can see unimaginable amount of collective thinking, which doesn't always turn out to be best. For example previous government (PM Jyrki Katainen) was leader of government coalition of six parties. Six!! From left to right, this is something impossible to imagine in French politics etc.
What Finns value on the other hand is consensus-politics meaning that everyone's voice needs to be heard and we modify laws according to everyone's wishes, thou everyone will have to make compromises.
In Poland more European style is followed, meaning that the majority will force it's view on minority, however if majority so wishes it will listen to the voices of opposition.

I'm just comparing two countries, but it's case and point each European country is very different and you can't force values of different country over another, we must stick to the lowest common denominator, otherwise EU will fail.
