+ Start of Brexit negotiations, June 2017
+ Brexit negotiations, April 2017
+ Latest thinking on Brexit, February 2017

+ Brexit and the future of the European Union, July 2016
+ Brexit: What next for Britain and Europe?, July 2016
+ The United Kingdom And The European Union , February 2016The EU’s Heads of State or Government gave the green light in December 2017 to the second phase of negotiations on the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU. They agreed that ‘sufficient progress’ had been made in talks on issues in the first phase.

Those included the UK's financial obligations on leaving the EU, the rights of EU citizens within the UK and of UK citizens within the EU, and how to deal with the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.

The next phase of talks would focus on transitional arrangements and the future EU-UK relationship, including in the field of trade. This note offered links to recent commentaries and reports published by major international think tanks and other organisations on EU-UK negotiations and on the implications of Brexit more widely.

More studies on these issues can be found in previous editions of ‘What Think Tanks are thinking’ (see below).
