Germany and Great Britain: Approach to the EU according to Labor-Sieg

British Labor government strives for close partnership with EU

The latest development in relationships between Germany and Great Britain indicates a possible approach of the United Kingdom to the European Union. This approach was discussed during the visit of the new British Foreign Minister David Lammy with his counterpart Annalena Baerbock (Greens) in Berlin. Despite the clear exclusion of a return to the EU or the customs union after Brexit by Lammy, the Labor party under his leadership signals an interest in a close partnership with the EU.

The Labor government plans a broad security pact with the European Union, which would also include areas such as energy, climate and defense industry. With the aim of strengthening NATO's European pillar and improving support for Ukraine, Great Britain under the new government seems to be involved in closer cooperation with European partners. These steps are discussed before the upcoming NATO summit in Washington to increase the shared ability to defend.

Germany and Great Britain emphasize their close cooperation in the fields of science, culture and security. Both countries also strive for a common strategy in international climate policy. The open attitude of the British Labor government towards an approach to the EU shows a new way for the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union and could give important impulses for the future of cooperation.
