1139397.En Pe 613.187 Question for written answer P-006993/2017 to the Commission Rule 130 Jiří Payne (EFDD) Subject: Brexit negotiations Article 50 (2) of the Treaty on European Union (as amended by the Lisbon Treaty) demands in its second sentence that the agreement setting out the arrangements for a withdrawal of a Member State from the EU must take account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. I kindly ask the Commission to clarify how it can take account of the framework for the future relationship between the UK and the European Union if, according to the priorities set out for the negotiation, the future relationship with the Union shall be negotiated as the last item of the whole process. Is the framework being negotiated behind closed doors and the public is not informed? Or is it not being negotiated at all, and therefore the Treaty on European Union is being violated? We need to know the answer urgently because businesses on both sides of the Channel need to know immediately what framework for business relations they can count on in the future. Hesitation in answering this question will harm economic interests of all involved parties. Supporters1 1 This question is supported by Members other than the author: Mike Hookem (EFDD), Margot Parker (EFDD), John Stuart Agnew (EFDD), Robert Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz (EFDD), Nigel Farage (EFDD), Gerard Batten (EFDD), James Carver (EFDD), Jonathan Bullock (EFDD), William (The Earl of) Dartmouth (EFDD), Peter Lundgren (EFDD), Kristina Winberg (EFDD), David Coburn (EFDD), Nathan Gill (EFDD), Mireille D’Ornano (EFDD), Florian Philippot (EFDD), Sophie Montel (EFDD). 1139397.EN PE 613.187 .

In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.

  • European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7Th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament Elections
    European Elections in the UK Media Briefing 7th May 2014 UKIP and the 2014 European Parliament elections Dr Philip Lynch ([email protected]) & Dr Richard Whitaker ([email protected]) University of Leicester UKIP and the 2014 European Elections Philip Lynch ( [email protected], @drphiliplynch ) and Richard Whitaker ( [email protected], @rickwhitaker ) Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Leicester UKIP go into the 2014 European elections in a far stronger position than they did five years earlier. The crucial differences are first, that UKIP have not experienced the decline in support in general election polling that they normally do after a European election. On the contrary, they are now consistently placed in third position in polls of general election vote intentions. Second, their ratings in polls of European election vote intention are some ten points higher on average than they were in the run up to the 2009 contest for seats in the European Parliament (EP). Third, they have more than double the number of members and a much better, even if still small base in local councils having secured 147 seats in the 2013 local elections. Fourth, while they have benefitted in the past from Conservative supporters lending UKIP their vote, they are in an even better position to do so this time around given that the Tories are now in government. On top of that, if UKIP’s campaign to win even more support from working class voters is successful, they will make headway in areas where Labour are traditionally strong. The presence of the Liberal Democrats in government alongside the collapse of the BNP add to the auspicious conditions for UKIP in 2014.

  • Democratic Audit: European Elections 2019: What Will Happen in the East of England Region? Page 1 of 6
    Democratic Audit: European elections 2019: what will happen in the East of England region? Page 1 of 6 European elections 2019: what will happen in the East of England region? Traditionally this is a Conservative region at Westminster elections. Yet the East of England is strongly Eurosceptic and UKIP came top here in the last European Parliament elections in 2014, although the Tories hung on (just) to three seats. The Brexit Party now look certain to take over the UKIP vote and comfortably come first: on current polls they are guaranteed three of the region’s seven seats, and possibly one more. The latest polling indicates that Labour and the Liberal Democrats look assured of a single seat each. So the main uncertainty hangs on just how dominant the Brexit Party vote will be, whether the Tories’ slump means that they lose all of their seats here, and whether the Greens can pick up a seat. With voters able to cast only a single vote for a party list, the Democratic Audit team reviews likely outcomes for the parties and the main potentially electable candidates. Norwich cathedral. Picture: MemoryCatcher / 3041 images The East of England region juts into the North Sea and covers East Anglia down to the northern fringes of London. People here voted 56.5% to 43.5% for Leave in the Brexit referendum. Yet the area also includes some anti-Brexit cities such as Norwich and Cambridge. Last time UKIP won 35% of the vote and gained three MEPs (two of whom subsequently defected to other parties).
