Online webinar

The Centre for European Legal Studies is partnering with Monckton Chambers for the 'Monckton-Faculty of Law Webinar Series on EU Relations Law'.

As the UK moves towards the end of the transition period, Brexit will become less about the UK’s departure from the EU and more about its future relationship with the EU and with other trading nations. Ambitions for the future EU-UK economic relationship are limited to the agreement of a free trade agreement. Whether or not even that style of agreement can be concluded, the legal discipline underpinning the EU-UK economic relationship will change markedly. Any new agreement between the EU and UK will have to be implemented in domestic law in the UK adding to the body of statutes that encompass the Brexit process. But looking beyond its relationship with the EU, the UK also needs to find ways of replicating existing trade deals to which it is a party by virtue of EU membership while also seeking out new opportunities to pursue an independent trade policy. This webinar focuses on the emerging external trade policy of the UK and the legal instruments which give it effect.

Chair: Philip Moser Q.C., Monckton Chambers
