The UK-EU ‘reset': Six months on

At May’s UK-EU summit, Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled a new Common Understanding between the EU and the UK.

The government hailed a new “deal” with the EU which included an agreement on fisheries and a joint commitment to negotiate a ‘youth experience scheme’, as well as new arrangements for agriculture, emissions trading, energy cooperation and defence. Many of these changes will involve the UK accepting dynamic alignment, with its potential role in “decision-shaping” to be defined.

Six months on, how much progress has been made? Have new stumbling blocks emerged? And now the government has started to highlight the economic consequences of Brexit, will it start to seek an even closer relationship?

To explore these questions and more, we were joined by our expert panel:

Baroness Ashton, former High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and member of House of Lords and European Affairs Committee
Professor Anand Menon, Director of UK in a Changing Europe
Calum Miller MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Foreign Affairs)
Sir Ivan Rogers, former UK Permanent Representative to the EU

The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.

We would like to thank UK in a Changing Europe for kindly supporting this event.
