Britain’s vote to leave the European Union could “in theory” be reversed although there is a still a strong probability it will go ahead, said the European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici on Monday.
Moscovici was replying on French radio to a question related to a move by the co-founder of fashion brand Superdry (SDRY.L) to donate a million pounds ($1.28 million) to the campaign for a referendum on the final Brexit agreement.
Asked whether the Brexit vote could be reversed, Moscovici told France Inter radio: “It is, in theory…it is up to the British themselves who have made the decision to leave, to decide ultimately if they will or not, and how they will do it.”
