The EU represents 44% of the UK's current export market, and at the UK represents 16% of the EU's "export" market. So who do you think loses the most if the UK delegation walks out?

You can't compare percentages like that, the EU is a tad bigger than the UK.

UK exports to EU, 44% of £550bn = £240bn

EU exports to UK, 16% of £1800bn = £290bn

so to answer your question, the EU loses more.
