Q&A

At this event, we discussed how the European Union and the United Kingdom can reset and strengthen their trade relationship, building on recommendations from Bruegel Fellow Ignacio Garcia Bercero’s Policy Brief. With the UK remaining the EU’s second-largest trading partner, there is a shared interest in improving cooperation and addressing key economic challenges.
