By 2017, the United Kingdom is expected to hold a referendum to decide whether or not

英國預計要在2017年舉辦一場公投

to remain a member of the European Union. The UK has been a part of the EU since 1973,

以決定是否要留在歐盟，英國從1973年起即為歐盟的成員國

and decided to remain a member-state after a referendum in 1975. So, why does the UK

並在1975年的公投中決議保留歐盟成員國身份

所以為什麼他們又想脫離了呢？

Well, Prime Minister David Cameron has said that the EU imposes too many restrictions

英國首相David Cameron表示歐盟對英國國會強加太多限制

on British lawmakers. Critics say that the UK will be forced to abandon its Pound currency

一些評論家認為英國有天會被迫放棄英鎊

and adopt the Euro currency, which has historically been the weaker of the two. Adoption of the

並使用歷年來總是相較疲軟的歐元

Euro is expected of all EU countries by the year 2020. But many are worried that the Euro

歐盟預計讓所有成員國在2020年全面採用歐元，但許多國家擔心

is not only unstable, but able to be influenced by weaker countries like Greece.

歐元系統不但不穩定，還容易被經濟較弱的國家影響，例如希臘

The UK is also concerned about European restrictions imposed on their immigration laws. The EU

英國同時也擔心歐盟對英國移民法的限制

currently provides the ability for migrants to access employment and benefits. However,

歐盟最近給予了移民就業和取得福利的資格

the British Prime Minister has been working to restrict benefits and housing to those

然而英國首相一直致力於限縮至少四年前就來到英國的移民

who have been in the country for at least four years. This proposal has been directly

的福利和居住空間，這樣的提案被歐洲聯盟委員會直接地反對

opposed by the European Commission, leading many Britons to question why the EU has so

導致許多英國公民提出一個疑問:歐盟憑什麼干涉

Some conservative groups feel like Europe is manipulating the British government, and

一些保守團體認為歐盟正在控制英國政府

that policymakers have ‘lost control over trade, human rights and migration’. EU law

甚至覺得英國的立法機構已經失去對於貿易、人權和移民議題的主控權

is supreme over UK law, meaning that lawmakers in the British House of Commons are technically

歐盟法已經高於英國法律，英國國會下議會的立法委員技術上受制於

beholden to those in the European Parliament in Brussels. Anti-EU activists believe that

布魯塞爾的歐洲議會，反歐盟活躍份子認為

European regulations will undermine British interests, which to many are isolationist.

歐盟法規會傷害英國的利益，這些反歐盟活躍份子許多都是孤立主義者

So how would a British exit affect both the EU and the UK? Well, analysts say that it

所以如果英國脫離歐盟對歐盟和英國會有什麼影響？分析家認為

could join Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein in direct single market access. This would

英國可能會加入挪威、冰島和列支敦士登的單一市場准入關係

be enacted per the existing Agreement on the European Economic Area. Many trade regulations

其根據現有在歐盟經濟區的協議制定，許多貿易法規

would remain the same, without imposing the same export and import tariffs as non-EU countries.

將不會改變，所以並不會有如非歐盟國的進出口關稅

However, it wouldn’t help the UK’s issues with free movement of labor, which is still

然而，這對英國的勞工自由流動問題並沒有幫助，因為這部分

guaranteed in the EEA Agreement. It would also slow investment in the UK, which would

是歐洲經濟區協議的一部分。脫離歐盟可能使在英國的投資放緩

no longer be seen as an entryway into EU trade. Similarly, the EU would lose some of its clout,

因為英國不再被視為進入歐盟交易的管道，同樣的，歐盟有會失去一些影響力

as one of it’s largest economic and political heavyweights goes off on its own.

因為它其中一個強大的政治和經濟體脫離了

But all of this is based on who you ask. At the moment, the EU and UK are in talks to

不過你問不同人可能得到不同答案，現在歐盟與英國正在交涉

resolve their differences, but if they can’t come to a solution, the scheduled referendum

看是否能化解他們的歧見，但如果交涉失敗，預定的公投極有可能實行

will likely occur. Overall, the United Kingdom hasn’t made up its mind on the EU yet, and

大體來說，英國對歐盟的策略並未決斷

it’ll take the upcoming referendum to solve the question once and for all.

即將來到的公投使英國與歐盟間的問題一勞永逸

Greece has also threatened to leave the Eurozone, raising the question of whether being an EU

希臘也曾放話要離開歐盟，質疑作為歐盟成員國是否值得
