UK Summit-European Union: Brussels takes over the “New Chapter” deal

“We are running a page.” “We open a new chapter.”

This is not the first page that was operated in the post -Britain exit from the European Union, but it is likely to be the most important.

The two sides have now concluded a deal covering fishing, trade, defense and energy and strengthening relations in a number of policy areas that still exist to negotiate.

For Brussels, this negotiation was an opportunity to bring Britain – a great defensive force – closer at the time of geopolitical turmoil.

To address what some member states see as annoying waste from Britain’s exit from the European Union.

For years, there was a “do not touch” mentality when it came to a wide look at the British Union’s exit settlement, according to the European Union diplomat.

All this involves “a lot of politics” with fears that everything has “wrong.”

Remember, even 2023 Windsor Framework AgreementLondon and Brussels stumbled on a long dispute over Northern Ireland’s commercial arrangements.

Then, in 2024, a new government won power in the United Kingdom – the most suitable Labor Party for the European Union.

Brussels officials have long expressed discontent-even lack of confidence-with the previous conservative administrations, a party with a voice group to adopt Britain from the European Union.

Some supporters of Britain’s exit from the European Union are now gathering a deal they say reach the sale of sovereignty to Bureaucrats in the European Union.

However, the diplomats in Brussels insist that this is “normalization” of relations between neighbors who are still looking at the world in a widespread way.

However, there was a clear satisfaction in the European Union circles about locking fishing classes for 12 years.

When I reviewed with one diplomat about these details, they initially responded with smiling emoji.

Another said: “The deal is balanced – it can be known as the deal – with favorable terms for the European Union – and it simply shows that the wonderful isolation is not an option in the climate of today.”

Of course, the European Union will want to shed light on its “victory” in negotiations with a previous member state that badly shook the bloc by leaving.

However, coastal countries – especially France – will be happy not to have to withstand annual fish class conversations at the present time.

He was, in the end, he was told, Quid Pro Quo. The European Union obtained the fishing deal. On the other hand, it will be easier for UK companies to export agricultural food products-although this element has not been completed.

Also until now it has been settled Plans for youth mobITY – which would allow young people to study or work more easily between Britain and the European Union.

This was a particularly important goal for countries like Germany, as it was keen to get better access to an English -speaking country with prestigious universities.

Another major point for Berlin was the new defense and security partnership.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the unpredictable White House, Donald Trump, has made European security rules.

Time was something of the processor – but recent events also created a sense of urgency.

The best relations with Britain, which is still a major defense player, are irrational-now more than ever-for the main righteousness of Europe as it tries to expand the scope of investment and capabilities.

Countries like Germany – which only recently achieved the goal of NATO spending by 2 % – are perfectly aware that they have been exposed to international dramatic developments in recent years.

However, of course, most of this deal is an agreement in principle; A statement of intentions in issues also ranges through cybersecurity, energy and immigration.

“I think it’s a good step,” another diplomat of the European Union told me. “It is good to test water for practical cooperation and what can be done. Let’s take it from there.”

There is still a great caution in Brussels about Britain’s argument with risky and division about relations with the European Union.

All the details, which have not yet been negotiated, can provoke more political storms, whether on political or cost concessions.

“Re -appointment” may not change these large basics of Brexit – the UK is still outside the unified market and the customs union – but it is committed to London and Brussels to speak much more because it tries to fill the many gaps that fall within this long list of aspirations.

This means that there will be a greater volume of diplomatic traffic between the United Kingdom and the European Union to move forward.

Doing more work with Brussels definitely means doing more. In this regard, today is just the beginning.
