United Kingdom/European Union: Towards an Amicable Divorce?
Practical information
These luncheon-debates are dedicated to corporate and individual benefactor members. By personal invitation only.
A luncheon-debate with Vivien PERTUSOT, Head of fri Bruxelles.
It is now certain: after David Cameron's victory, there will be a referendum in the UK before 2017 about the maintaining of the country within the European Union. According to these modalities, an exit of the United Kingdom would have major consequences for its economy, and particularly its financial sector. The coming British debate is also a European debate. Indirectly, it is the contour, the functioning and the project of the Union that are at stake.
Chair: Thomas Gomart, Director, Ifri

"Brexit" : le débat britannique est absolument un débat européen
Il est désormais certain que le Royaume-Uni votera sur son maintien dans l'Union européenne. La réélection de David Cameron le confirme. En attendant le détail des réformes et demandes du Premier ministre britannique, les Etats-membres, à commencer par la France, doivent prendre conscience que le débat britannique n'est plus un débat strictement national. En filigrane se pose la question de l'avenir de l'Union européenne.
