An EU refusal to grant cross-border access to investment banking services from the CIty of London shows how the bloc wants to force Britain to keep adopting its rules in future, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said on Wednesday.

The EU is set to decide in coming weeks on how much direct access it will grant all types of UK financial activity under its system that checks whether British rules are “equivalent” or as robust as those in the 27-nation bloc. “I just do not see how we can have an equivalence process that essentially says, the EU says, we are not going to even judge equivalence because our rules are going to change,” he said.

Alex Brazier, the BoE’s executive director for financial stability, said the EU decision showed the danger of having equivalence that can be withdrawn at any minute, making it difficult to have “well tailored” rules for the City of London.
