Excerpt from Al Jazeera -- "As part of the EU, Britain is part of various treaties with hundreds of countries for preferential treatment. Now all these will have to be negotiated from scratch if Britain leaves the European Union. Additionally, Britain is a financial center for most American corporations to Europe. So the banks, for example, the American banks have their EU operations, the European operations, in Britain. So if Britain is out of Europe, things are going to change. They'll have to move to Frankfurt and so on. Britain is going to lose tremendously as a financial center if that happens."
