ECB's Weidmann warns against Britain leaving EU

Britain has profited from the European Union's internal market and the EU would lose an important voice for competition and free trade if it were to leave the bloc, European Central Bank policymaker Jens Weidmann said. "Both the euro zone and Great Britain have enjoyed economic gains from the internal market," Weidmann told Germany's Funke Mediengruppe in comments released on Wednesday. Britain votes on June 23 on whether to remain in the EU.
