Key quotes

“City of London may have to wait beyond the end of this year to know whether it will secure access rights to the whole of the bloc's market.”

“Brussels would not be ready in the coming months to assess whether Britain qualifies for some pan-EU access rights, known as equivalence provisions, because the bloc's own regulations are in flux.”
