UK

Questo Approfondimento intende offrire una valutazione di quali siano le probabilità di un “Brexit”, ovvero della possibilità che il Regno Unito decida di lasciare l’Unione europea, e quali possano essere motivi e implicazioni di tale scelta.La probabilità di un referendum sull’Unione europea entro il 2017 è piuttosto alta, sia che alle elezioni del 2015 vincano i conservatori, sia che a vincere siano i laburisti (

Most ways to resolve the current stalemate in the UK parliament with respect to Brexit imply that the UK will no longer be part of the internal market for financial services. There is a risk that capital market services in the EU-27 will decline in scope and quality without the UK in the internal market but this risk can be mitigated. We propose that the EU and the UK form a joint high-level committee to develop proposals for simplified and better regulation that strengthens market discipline.

The increased protectionist turn taken by the United States, including steel and aluminium tariffs levied against the EU and other countries and a potential trade war with China, comes at an awkward time for the United Kingdom. While the United Kingdom is negotiating its exit from the European Union, it still remains within the EU and its customs union and so is dependent on the EU to negotiate on its behalf.

Un attentato al mese (o quasi) fino al giorno del voto. La Gran Bretagna arriva alle elezioni anticipate indette nel segno della Brexit devastata dall’escalation del terrore in una campagna dirottata, nei giorni finali, dall’emergenza sicurezza che assai poco spazio ha lasciato ai temi di fondo del negoziato euro-britannico.

Matt Singh è l’unico analista di trend elettorali che nel 2015 alla vigilia del voto andò controcorrente pronosticando una chiara vittoria dei conservatori tale da garantire a David Cameron, allora primo ministro, la maggioranza assoluta alla Camera dei Comuni. Fu una voce inascoltata nel deserto.

If there was a moment when it was possible to speculate that the British election would send a clear signal about Britain’s relationship with Europe, it was short-lived. The British people may well deliver a decisive majority to Theresa May and, in the best-case scenario for her next government, she may be able to leverage that majority to win a good deal for Britain and to lay the foundations for Britain’s new role in Europe and at the global level. Even if that all came to pass, however, future historians would be hard-pressed to s

The Brexit had at least the advantage of forcing Europeans to propose multiple projects in order to better pool their military capabilities. Admittedly, in this situation, there is a combination of favourable circumstances for initiatives that aim to revive the CSDP. First of all, Europeans made this decision to revive CSDP in 2013. The initiative came from France, jointly with the new President of the European Commission, Jean Claude Juncker.
