UK and EU: Five key areas for rapprochement – how far will the new British Prime Minister go?
After the change of leadership in London, the EU senses a new opportunity for a Brexit reset - a summit is planned soon. Brussels wants to achieve a lot, especially for young Europeans.
The UK and EU are seeking to strengthen their political and economic ties, 10 years after the Brexit decision. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham met with European Council President António Costa in Kyiv and stated that his country needs to be "braver" in building a closer relationship with the EU. The two sides aim to reach an agreement in five areas by an EU-UK summit in November, including trade, energy, and youth mobility.
A key point of contention is the EU's demand that UK universities treat EU students equally in terms of tuition fees, which could be a significant concession for the UK.
