Zuleeg, Fabian (2017) Better safe than sorry: Time to prepare for a 'no deal scenario'. EPC Commentary, October 2017. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
At the October EU Summit, as expected, the EU27 did not conclude that the Brexit negotiations had progressed sufficiently to warrant opening the discussions on the future (economic) relationship between the UK and the EU. The main sticking point continues to be the UK's financial obligations with a lack of concreteness to the apparent offer made by Prime Minister May in her Florence speech, as well as indications that some member states see this offer as way below what is required. Another outstanding issue concerns the role of the European Court of Justice in the post-Brexit era, in particular whether it is needed to uphold EU citizens’ rights.
