on 17th February 2016 German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that Germany “will do what we can so that Britain can stay”.
Speaking in November ahead of an address by George Osborne, Merkel continued:
“I agree that the UK should remain a member of the European Union But, of course, the decision isn’t up to us, it is up to the British.
“We can say that where there are justified concerns — whether competitiveness or better functioning of the EU, the British concerns are our concerns.”
