The future of EU-UK relations and the perspective from Brussels

The EU and UK are learning to live as exes, but although a no-deal catastrophe could be avoided, many questions about their future relationship are left unanswered.

 

The world is changing, but it appears that the contours of the new relationship between the UK and the EU are becoming clearer. Going forward, it is now up to all of us in the business community to make this relationship as successful as possible. In our Chamber Dialogue, David McAllister MEP will share his insights on the future relationship between the UK and EU and he will give his view on what we might expect over the coming months and years.
