The challenge for both sides will be to continue the negotiations in that spirit over the next two years. "We will continue to play our part in working with the UK Government and our partners across the EU to ensure that a mutually beneficial deal can be struck that safeguards financial stability and the interests of savers and investors both at home and across Europe."
