Access Investments-European Union- ROMANIA

A British exit from the European Union would not stop Vauxhall from doing business in the UK because it is "unthinkable" that the rest of the bloc would shun a new trade deal, its chairman has said.  Tim Tozer, who is also managing director of the car maker, described the EU referendum as a "good thing" and said if Britain voted to leave, the company would continue its operations as usual.

He told the BBC: “I don’t think in that event there would not be a trade agreement with what was left of the EU. We’re a very, very big market for European products, goods and services, and it would unthinkable to us as a corporation that no such trade agreement would ultimately be negotiated if this country chose to leave."   Vauxhall employs around 35,000 people in the UK and operates two plants - in Ellesmere and Luton. Mr Tozer said a British exit would not cause "trouble" for the company or its parent, General Motors, as he stressed that Vauxhall would continue to build its popular Astra model in Britain...Well, I live in hope. I think he is more sensible than the press are giving him credit for at the moment, Time will tell. A lot of what he says I can relate to - and I have to say that in my dealings with the trade unions over the years (as an employer) they have always been helpful. Most of the guys want the same as everyone else - good businesses paying good wages and secure jobs for their people.
