Beyond Brexit: A new chapter for EU-UK relations
The EU and the UK are holding their first post-Brexit summit on 19 May. Since coming to power in July 2024, the focus of Labour’s much-vaunted ‘reset’ with the EU has been on building friendly relations with EU institutions and Member States. Whilst these overtures have been positively received, (substantive) progress has been slow. The summit will therefore be crucial in determining whether the two sides can move from ambition to action.
The updated European Green Deal Risk Radar uses scorecards to assess 22 major EU law’s impact on five core objectives: climate neutrality, 100% renewables, fair participation of citizens, biodiversity and zero pollution. It reveals where progress on key EU Green Deal laws may stall, and where implementation risks are mounting. It flags financial conflicts, ranging from distributional tensions to a lack of funding, as well as attempts to weaken impact and delay delivery.
