Abstract

Prime Minister Theresa May has finally triggered the Article 50 negotiations, nine months after the referendum vote. The Article 50 notification letter emphasises the aspiration of reaching a good deal and offers potential compromises on areas such as the rights of EU citizens already in the UK. However, there are still some obstacles ahead: hard lines on issues such as budgetary payments and the jurisdiction of the European Court might make a divorce deal and the transition to a long-term trade agreement hard to swallow for the EU27 and the European Parliament (EP).
