(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors - UK) Offshore industry group Oil & Gas UK says it respects the UK''s democratic decision to leave the EU and is ready to move forward.
The group added that it has maintained political neutrality throughout the referendum campaigning, and noted that its members would undoubtedly have their own views on EU membership.
In a statement, Oil & Gas UK said: ''Our role is to represent our members throughout the transition ahead.
''We hope that all those involved will now come together and work constructively to make this transition as smooth as possible and we ask that the UK Government clearly outlines the process which will follow to minimise any potential period of uncertainty.
''The UK oil and gas industry is at a critical juncture and we need to ensure the UK Continental Shelf continues to attract investment and be seen as a great place to do business.''
No comment was made regarding any speculated reprisal of the SNP''s push for Scottish independence in the aftermath of the EU referendum.
Some 62% of Scots voted for Remain yesterday, and in 2014 the EU membership attached to staying in the United Kingdom was deemed to be a key factor in Scotland''s vote against independence.
