According to the article 70 percent of businesses asked were against this because most trading is with the UK, not France. But of course the public vote decides. It seems the majority of people were against as well, as there were 6,564 votes for, and 17,230 votes against moving to CET. According to BBC: "States members will make the final decision, as the result of the referendum is not binding." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/jersey/7671009.stm
