Willermain, Fabian and Genard, Quentin (2016) The UK Referendum: the EU at the Crossroads. Egmont Commentary, 16 March 2016. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
The deal reached on the relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU last month was made in the full glare of the spotlight. Prime Minister Cameron has been pushing hard over the past few months to secure ‘a new settlement’ for Britain in Europe. Many have commented on the agreement, finding it either not ambitious enough if the United Kingdom is to remain in the EU, or a threat to the core of the EU’s existence. Either way, the February 2016 European Council will go down in history, but probably not because of the agreement reached. The EU must seize this chance to redefine itself.
