The European Neighbourhood Chair of the College of Europe in Natolin was pleased to organise a seminar titled: "Towards a Reset of EU-UK Relations?" with Professor Catherine BARNARD, Professor of European Law at the University of Cambridge and Professor Adam ŁAZOWSKI, Scientific Coordinator at the European Neighbourhood Chair.
With the dust after Brexit slowly settling in and with the volatile international situation, the European Union and the United Kingdom seem to be moving towards a reset of bilateral relations. While the re-accession of the UK to the EU seems not to be on the cards, some form of rapprochement is required in the interest of both sides.
During this seminar Prof. BARNARD and Prof. ŁAZOWSKI focused on recent developments and how they would shape the future of the EU-UK relations.
