  • The Process of Brexit: What Comes Next?
    LONDON’S GLOBAL UNIVERSITY THE PROCESS OF BREXIT: WHAT COMES NEXT? Alan Renwick Co-published with: Working Paper January 2017 All views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the UCL European Institute. © Alan Renwick (Image credit: Way out by Matt Brown; CC BY 2.0) The Process of Brexit: What Comes Next? Alan Renwick* * Dr Alan Renwick is Deputy Director of the UCL Constitution Unit. THE PROCESS OF BREXIT: WHAT COMES NEXT? DR ALAN RENWICK Executive Summary The phoney war around Brexit is almost over. The Supreme Court has ruled on Article 50. The government has responded with a bill, to which the House of Commons has given outline approval. The government has set out its negotiating objectives in a White Paper. By the end of March, if the government gets its way, we will be entering a new phase in the Brexit process. The question is: What comes next? What will the process of negotiating and agreeing Brexit terms involve? Can the government deliver on its objectives? What role might parliament play? Will the courts intervene again? Can the devolved administrations exert leverage? Is a second referendum at all likely? How will the EU approach the negotiations? This paper – so far as is possible – answers these questions. It begins with an overview of the Brexit process and then examines the roles that each of the key actors will play. The text was finalised on 2 February, shortly after publication of the government’s White Paper. Overview: Withdrawing from the EU Article 50 of the EU treaty sets out a four-step withdrawal process: the decision to withdraw; notification of that decision to the EU; negotiation of a deal; and agreement to the deal’s terms.

  • Brexit Interview: Raoul Ruparel
    Raoul Ruparel Special Advisor to the Prime Minister on Europe August 2018 – July 2019 Special Advisor to the Secretary of State for the Department for Exiting the EU October 2016 – July 2018 Co-Director, Open Europe May 2015 – October 2016 11 August 2020 The renegotiation and the referendum UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE): How influential, do you think, Open Europe was in shaping David Cameron’s approach to the Bloomberg speech and the renegotiation? Raoul Ruparel (RR): I think we were fairly influential. Our chairman at the time, Lord Leach, who sadly passed away, was quite close to Cameron, especially on EU issues, and so had quite a lot of say in some of the parts of the Bloomberg speech. Obviously, Mats Persson also had some input to the speech and then went to work for Cameron on the reform agenda. That being said, before Mats got into Number 10 under Cameron, I think a lot of it was already set. The ambition was already set relatively low in terms of the type of reform Cameron was going to aim for. So I think there was some influence. Certainly, I think Open Europe had an impact in trying to bridge that path between the Eurosceptics and those who wanted to see Brexit, and were in that camp from quite early on, and the wider Page 1/30 public feeling of concern over immigration and other aspects. Yes, there certainly was something there in terms of pushing the Cameron Government in the direction of reform. I don’t think it’s something that Open Europe necessarily created, I think they were looking for something in that space and we were there to fill it.

First, the CER will focus Mortera-Martinez on making practical and constructive proposals for the UK’s future links with the EU. It will tackle questions such as, what would be the economic impact of the various options available to the UK? Which of these options could work politically? Which people and institutions will play a leading role in the Brexit talks? How will Brexit aff ect the most important EU policies? And what does Brexit mean for the EU’s international role? Second, we have launched a programme of research and events on the economic causes of populism, to be concluded in the spring of 2018.

  • Whitehall in Brussels: the Uk Permanent Representation to the Eu
    WHITEHALL IN BRUSSELS: THE UK PERMANENT REPRESENTATION TO THE EU MATT BEVINGTON WHITEHALL IN BRUSSELS: THE UK PERMANENT REPRESENTATION TO THE EU 1 FOREWORD The UK has left the European Union but the two sides, as neighbours, partners and competitors, will need to continue to work with each other. How this happens matters. The UK Permanent Represeenation to the European Union was, during the UK’s membership, a crucial cog in the machinery both of UK-EU interaction and of coordination within Whitehall. Renamed the UK Mission to the EU it will continue to play a vital role. I’d like to thank Matt Bevington for producing this report for us, and to recommend it to you as an invaluable summary both of how the UK interacted with the EU in the past, and what role UKMiss might play in those interactions going forward. More broadly, as Matt has now left UKICE to work elsewhere, this serves as an opportunity to thank him for all his work for us over the last few years. He will be sadly missed. In addition, thanks are due to Jill Rutter for editing and checking over the report, and Navjyot Lehl for handling design issues. I hope you find what follows interesting and useful.
