Priorities for UK-EU Relations英欧关系的优先事项英歐關係的優先事項

This report sets out a pragmatic, industry-led agenda to strengthen UK-EU cooperation in financial and related professional services. It presents practical measures to reduce friction, improve predictability, and support shared European priorities, while keeping open a credible path to more ambitious long-term outcomes — without requiring far-reaching structural changes to the current relationship. The recommendations draw on a process of consultation with TheCityUK's members.本报告提出了一项务实的、由业界主导的议程，旨在加强英国与欧盟在金融及相关专业服务领域的合作。报告提出了减少摩擦、提高可预见性并支持欧洲共同优先事项的切实可行措施，同时为未来实现更具雄心的长期成果保留可信的路径——且无须对当前关系进行大幅度的结构性调整。相关建议基于 TheCityUK 与其会员的谘询过程。本報告提出了一項務實的、由業界主導的議程，旨在加強英國與歐盟在金融及相關專業服務領域的合作。報告提出了減少摩擦、提高可預見性並支持歐洲共同優先事項的切實可行措施，同時為未來實現更具雄心的長期成果保留可信的路徑——且無須對當前關係進行大幅度的結構性調整。相關建議基於 TheCityUK 與其會員的諮詢過程。

The report finds that the UK-EU Leaders' Summit and the subsequent 2025 Common Understanding, like the Trade and Cooperation Agreement before it, were heavily weighted toward trade in goods rather than services, with few initiatives addressing the financial and professional services industry's most pressing concerns. It argues that re-balancing is vital, and sets out the industry's clear preference for long-term stability and predictability over volatile arrangements with "sunset" clauses, foundational interoperability as a baseline, and continued focus on shared challenges — including finance for security, climate change, competitiveness, and growth.报告指出，英欧领导人峰会及随后于2025年达成的《共同理解》，与此前的《贸易与合作协定》一样，重点严重偏向货物贸易而非服务贸易，鲜有举措触及金融与专业服务业最迫切的关切。报告认为，重新平衡至关重要，并阐明了业界的明确取向：相较于附带「日落」条款、易生变数的安排，业界更倾向于长期稳定性与可预见性；将基础层面的互操作性作为底线；并持续聚焦于安全融资、气候变化、竞争力与增长等共同挑战。報告指出，英歐領導人峰會及隨後於2025年達成的《共同理解》，與此前的《貿易與合作協定》一樣，重點嚴重偏向貨物貿易而非服務貿易，鮮有舉措觸及金融與專業服務業最迫切的關切。報告認為，重新平衡至關重要，並闡明了業界的明確取向：相較於附帶「日落」條款、易生變數的安排，業界更傾向於長期穩定性與可預見性；將基礎層面的互操作性作為底線；並持續聚焦於安全融資、氣候變化、競爭力與增長等共同挑戰。

Priorities identified include achieving more effective mutual recognition of professional qualifications (MRPQ), removing EU "cliff edge" risks around data adequacy and Central Counterparty (CCP) equivalence, reducing mobility frictions for professionals, and closer UK-EU cooperation on defence and resilience financing. The report calibrates these objectives against current, deliverable levels of ambition — such as continued use of the Joint UK-EU Financial Regulatory Forum and existing TCA mechanisms — while also detailing a more ambitious longer-term scenario.报告确定的优先事项包括：实现更有效的专业资格互认（MRPQ）；消除数据充分性认定及中央对手方（CCP）等效性方面的欧盟「悬崖式」风险；减少专业人士流动方面的摩擦；以及加强英欧在国防与韧性融资方面的合作。报告将上述目标与当前可实现的雄心水平相对照——例如持续利用英欧联合金融监管论坛及现有《贸易与合作协定》机制——同时也阐述了一个更具雄心的长期情景。報告確定的優先事項包括：實現更有效的專業資格互認（MRPQ）；消除數據充分性認定及中央對手方（CCP）等效性方面的歐盟「懸崖式」風險；減少專業人士流動方面的摩擦；以及加強英歐在國防與韌性融資方面的合作。報告將上述目標與當前可實現的雄心水平相對照——例如持續利用英歐聯合金融監管論壇及現有《貿易與合作協定》機制——同時也闡述了一個更具雄心的長期情景。
