The future of EU-UK relations
On Tuesday, MEPs will debate the upcoming EU-UK summit on 20 November with representatives of the Irish Council Presidency and the European Commission.
On 20 November, European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will host UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham for the second EU-UK summit in Brussels. The meeting will be an opportunity for the EU and the UK to strengthen their strategic partnership. Leaders are expected to take stock of the progress made since the first summit in London in 2025, including on issues such as defence and security, energy, agrifood rules, climate, people-to-people contacts, migration, and law enforcement.
