英国内阁办公室前部长：中国应该关心脱欧吗？(18)_英国内阁办公室前部长奥立弗．莱特文：

But when the UK leaves the EU， the day after， all our regulations will be the same as the day before． Our parliament has already， we have legislated to ensure that all the rules which were in place on the day we leave are still in place the day after．

And only gradually will any of our regulations change．

A huge part of our trade， The UK trade will still be with the EU． In order to export to the EU， we will have to maintain the same product standards that we currently maintain， and they will have to match the EU standards as those standards change．

So our regulations， which is a great part of trade policy， are likely to be very similar to those of the EU on an ongoing basis． We won‘t be governed by the EU regulations， but we will adopt regulations very similar to those in the EU， and that applies to services as much as to goods．

The city of London is the most important financial center in Europe， and one of the three most important financial centers in the world． In order for it to continue to be of great importance， those firms that are located in London will need to be able to go on doing business from London in Europe． They will only be able to do that if the financial services regulatory arrangements in London are recognized as equivalent by the European Union in just the same way that the European Union recognizes the regulations of the sec in New York as equivalent to EU regulation． So it‘s very unlikely that even our financial services regulation will diverge very far from EU financial services regulation．
