BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgium's prime minister on Tuesday urged British companies wanting to continue trading with the European Union to move to his country after the British vote to quit the bloc.

"They are thinking it is time, today, to go to Belgium and work in Belgium," Charles Michel told Reuters, citing a poll which he said found one British business in five was thinking of moving out in the wake of last week's Brexit referendum.
