British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is open to a frank discussion about possibly restoring free movement of people between the United Kingdom and the European Union. He wants to discuss the topic with Brussels as part of an effort to reset relations after Brexit. Telex ↗
In an interview for the Sunday edition of The Times, Burnham said he would welcome an open discussion about returning to the regime that allowed free movement between Britain and EU member states. This is an issue that has been politically sensitive since Brexit, as ending free movement was one of its most prominent consequences. hnonline.sk ↗
The British prime minister took up his role as Labour leader in July. He recently stated that the UK is not satisfied with the current state of mutual relations with the EU. According to available statements, he is considering several options for deepening relations with Brussels. teraz.sk ↗
The official UK-EU summit will take place on November 20 in Brussels. Burnham's initiative could add the issue of population mobility to the agenda of the talks, although the available statements do not indicate that London has already requested a specific agreement on restoring free movement. svet.sme.sk ↗
At the same time, British and German businesses are pushing for closer relations between the United Kingdom and the EU. According to available data, trade still significantly lags behind pre-Brexit levels, and the end of open borders has complicated economic ties. Welt ↗
