  • Anneliese Dodds MEP the South East’S Voice in Europe News from Your Labour MEP - May 2017
    Anneliese Dodds MEP The South East’s Voice in Europe News from your Labour MEP - May 2017 After 9 months of discussion, debate and argument, Article 50 was triggered by Theresa May on March 29th. I know this marks the start of a negotiation period that will lead to more uncertainty and worry for some people in the South East. I, for one, was not expecting a senior Conservative politician to start threatening a potential war with Spain over Gibraltar within days of Article 50 being triggered! Thank you for all your messages and correspondence on Brexit. I am working to try and support all constituents who have raised Brexit-related issues with me and my team. Please check out the ‘Negotiation news’ and ‘Anneliese’s news’ sections of my website for the latest on Brexit and what it means for the South East. Event with German MEP to discuss Britain’s role in a post-Brexit EU I recently held a discussion with Jakob von Weizsacker MEP, a German colleague, to discuss Britain’s role in Europe. Issues discussed included Brexit, security and terrorism, Franco-German relations and the rights of EU nationals. The event was very well attended and it was a pleasure to welcome Jakob and his partner to the South East. I have also been pleased to welcome my colleague Ana Gomes MEP to our region, from Portugal. Before, during, and after Brexit, it is hugely important that we keep up the dialogue with our European friends and colleagues, as we look to foster new relationships and ways to work with each other.
