Trade Deal

On February 3, the very first debate of 2021 from the series EU± took place. The debate was organized by the EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy and the Department of European Studies of FSV UK. The topic of „Implications of Brexit” was discussed by research fellow of Masaryk University Monika Brusenbauch Meislová, Czech diplomat to the EU Jan Havlík and research fellow of Charles University Ivo Šlosarčík. The debate was chaired by Tomáš Weiss, researcher, and head of the Department of European Studies FSV UK.

The director of our Institute, Vladimir Bartovic, expressed his position on the current Brexit situation for the iDnes.cz and MF DNES servers yesterday. Above all, he commented on whether or not will the United Kingdom be able to conclude a trade deal with the EU by the end of this year.

United Kingdom is leaving the EU officially on Friday, 31st of January. What is going to change with this date? How long will it take to negotiate a new trade deal? And what does the European Union lose in Britain's departure? Our research fellow Vít Havelka answered these and many more questions in the Studio ČT24 programme.
