This is how the BBC reported it (and they are rather pro stay)
EU referendum: Trade curbs 'foolish' if UK votes Leave, says German industry - BBC News
and heres more of what it said!
""Imposing trade barriers, imposing protectionist measures between our two countries - or between the two political centres, the European Union on the one hand and the UK on the other - would be a very, very foolish thing in the 21st Century," Mr Kerber told the BBC's World Service.
"The BDI would urge politicians on both sides to come up with a trade regime that enables us to uphold and maintain the levels of trade we have, although it will become more difficult."
Mr Kerber added that any introduction of tariffs would lead to job losses in Germany and the UK.
He said a vote to leave the EU would lead to a "serious disruption" to the German-UK economic relationship, describing it "as if a relative had left the family".
Just for balance.:smile5:
