A changing status (again)
As of today, I'm starting a new research project that relates to the content of this podcast, so in the interests of full disclosure, I'm telling you about it. I will be Research Investigator on the 'Negotiating Brexit' project, run as part of the 'UK in a Changing Europe' programme of the ESRC, from May 2017 to October 2018. Those of you who have listened in for a long time will recall I was a Senior Fellow on the same programme during 2016 and nothing really came from that,
European Council mandate
In episode 205, I've talked about the mandate of the European Council for the Article 50 negotiations. As promised, here's the link to those guidelines, which will form the basis for the negotiations, and will be fleshed out in the coming month with the Commission. http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2017/04/29-euco-brexit-guidelines/
