Extending the Brexit transition?
Can the UK and EU reach a deal by the current deadline of 31 December 2020 now that COVID-19 has set many governments’ plans into disarray? Lead negotiators Michel Barnier and David Frost are both currently self-isolating and they have yet to set a date for the next round of talks. The clock is ticking.
The UK and EU have until the 1 July 2020 to decide whether to extend the transition period, and on what terms. How likely is that? And could an extension be agreed at a later date? Joining Joe Owen, Programme Director at the Institute for Government, to explore this complex issue are:
Allie Renison, Head of EU and Trade Policy at the Institute of Directors
Shanker Singham, CEO of Competere
Fabian Zuleeg, Chief Executive and Chief Economist at the European Policy Centre
Professor Catherine Barnard, Professor of EU Law and Employment Law, University of Cambridge; Senior Fellow, UK in a Changing Europe
Audio production by Alex Rees.
