Britain says it has supplied all the necessary paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>Raab said the EU risked undermining its own competitiveness if it put up barriers in order to \u201cnick a bit of business here and there from the City\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>EU authorities have previously been clear that it wants euro-denominated financial activity shifted from London to build up its own capital market under direct Brussels supervision.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-britain-eu-raab\/uk-downplays-risk-of-eu-poaching-city-of-london-business-idUSKBN2AE0C8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: Skyscrapers in The City of London financial district are seen in London, Britain, September 14, 2020.
