From what a friend has told me, the UK was very influential in shaping EU legislation. Its diplomatic influence there was world class thanks to its Commonwealth history and was much admired in the EU and its pragmatism is much missed.

EU legislation such as Solvency II* which Johnson has criticised and wants to amend (and the EU is separately amending) was led by the UK and shaped by our insurance expertise.

* Determines the riskiness of assets that insurance companies can invest insurance premiums in
