The first UK-EU summit since Brexit is scheduled for 19 May in London, where economic and security ties are expected to be discussed
THE UK government on Friday refused to comment on reports that a youth mobility scheme may be part of any deal to “reset” Britain’s ties with the European Union.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a strong supporter of staying in the EU during the 2016 referendum, has promised to deepen post-Brexit ties with the continent, and hopes to agree a new deal as the first UK-EU summit since the country left the bloc looms next month.
Economic and security ties are believed to be on the table for the 19 May London summit, but speculation is rife about what concessions the UK will have to make, particularly in the areas of fisheries and freedom of movement.
More than 60 Labour MPs on Wednesday called for the government to agree to a youth mobility scheme that would allow British and European 18- to 30-year-olds to travel freely between the UK and EU — reportedly a key European demand.
German ambassador to the UK Miguel Berger told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I am now pretty optimistic that we are moving in a good direction.”— AFP
