The Institute for Government was pleased to welcome Sir Ivan Rogers, former UK Permanent Representative to the EU, to discuss how the UK should deal with the EU after Brexit.
The UK wants an ambitious future arrangement covering trade, cooperation in foreign and security policy, data exchange and more. But negotiations on the future relationship will be much more complex than those on the withdrawal – and will take place under even greater time pressure.
Sir Ivan explored how the UK Government needs to prepare for those negotiations, and how it needs to rethink its long-term relationship with EU member states and institutions.
He was in conversation with Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. There was an opportunity for questions from the audience.
Sir Ivan Rogers was UK Permanent Representative to the EU from 2013-2017. He has previously served as the Prime Minister’s Advisor on European and Global Issues and Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister, as well as working in the City.
