ルクセンブルク貿易投資事務所（東京）からのご挨拶：
皆様、
ルクセンブルクニュースレターの 6 月号をお届けします。
6 月 23 日はルクセンブルクの大公の誕生日を公式に祝う「ナショナル・デー」です。ルクセンブルク本国では打ち上げ花火や
パレードなど、ロイヤルファミリーが参加する華やかな式典が行われました。東京のルクセンブルク大使館でも大使主催のレ
セプションに約 200 名が参加し、ルクセンブルクワインやビールを片手に語らいました。
同日、イギリスでは EU 離脱の是非を問う国民投票が行われ、離脱派が過半数を上回りました。各加盟国と力を増す EU の
間には実際様々な問題があり、欧州統合推進派の急先鋒であるルクセンブルクですら不満の声が聞こえてきます。ただし、
ルクセンブルクを含む EU 元加盟国は安全保障という目的のため多少の不便があっても折り合ってきました。英国など 1973
年以降の拡大期に加盟した国々は経済的利害を主な動機としていたためか、経済減速局面の EU は割に合わないと判断す
るのでしょう。ド・ゴールの強い反対で新加盟国を受け入れなかった EU を拡大に向け舵を取らせたのが 1973 年の英国加盟
です。英国には EU 改革の努力をしながら統合と話し合い継続への道を進んで欲しかっただけに残念です。
今後については、英国による離脱手続き開始から EU とイギリス間の新たな経済関係の形について交渉が行われます。EU
では欧州単一市場へのアクセスは人の移動の自由が前提としており、移民問題を争点に離脱を決断したイギリスがどのよう
な立場で交渉に臨むか注目されます。離脱の手続きは手順に従い 2 年かけて行われますので、今すぐに企業の実業務に
影響があるわけではありません。当事務所ではこの件で疑問や不安のある企業のお問い合わせに極力お答えして参ります。
一刻も早く、EU と英国が築く経済関係の枠組みが明らかになるよう願います。
