The financiers say they will not allowed to be competitive internationally after the bloc announced it is to make sweeping alterations to capital markets.

French and German banks are moving in to prevent the blatant power grabs by Brussels over fears their policies will effectively stifle growth, lead to jobs cuts and ultimately kill profits.

“The perspective of the Brexit adds … to that trend.
