The Trade and Cooperation AgreementImplementation betweenof the EUEU-UK Trade and theCooperation UKAgreement
The Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) establishes a new framework for the post-Brexit relationship between the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK). It was signed on 30 December 2020 and entered into force on 1 January 2021. The TCA provides the basis for comprehensive relations between the parties, which covers a wide variety of areas including trade, energy, judicial cooperation in criminal matters and law enforcement, fisheries, transport and social security coordination. Furthermore, the TCA ensures a level playing field for fair competition and sustainable development, including dispute settlement and governance mechanisms, as well as respect for fundamental rights.

The TCA between the UK and the EU is unique amongst other Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) between the EU and third countries as this agreement deals with trade and cooperation with a former EU Member State. In this way, this TCA replaced trade arrangements and cooperation which had been in place whilst the UK was still a Member State and benefitted from the EU Customs Union and the single market.

EU-UK relations
European Parliament resolution of 27 November 2025 on the implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (2024/2108(INI))
Despite Brexit, the UK and the EU remain allies and neighbours with a long shared history, continuing to uphold common interests and values on the global stage. Engagement between the UK and EU has improved since the political agreement on the Windsor Framework in February 2023 and more recently with the UK Prime Minister’s pledge to renew the UK’s relationship with the EU in July 2024.
The new UK Government has signalled an interest in exploring new possible areas of collaboration with the EU based on three pillars: foreign policy, defence, and security cooperation; safety of citizens; growth and trade. The red lines set by the UK Government continue to be: no single market membership, no customs union and no freedom of movement.
On 2 October 2024, the UK Prime Minister Starmer and the Commission President von der Leyen’s first meeting resulted in a commitment to hold regular EU-UK Summits, the first of which was held on 19 May 2025. Furthermore, the leaders reiterated their unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and agreed to strengthen EU-UK cooperation on global challenges such as economic headwinds, geopolitical competition, irregular migration, climate change, and energy prices.
At the General Affairs Council meeting of 17 December 2024, Ministers exchanged views on the EU-UK relations. They recalled the necessity of the full and faithful implementation of existing agreements and called for close cooperation with the UK in the field of foreign and security policy. Other priority areas considered were youth exchanges, fisheries and energy. On 18 March 2025 the General Affairs Council held another debate on the EU-UK relations in view of the EU-UK Summit of 19 May 2025. Ministers stressed the importance of working more closely with the UK in the field of security and defence.
On 2 April 2025, the European Parliament, in its resolutions on CFSP and CSDP, welcomed the renewed impetus from the new UK Government to reflect with the EU on possibilities for closer and more permanent foreign policy and security cooperation. It also highlighted the scope of the issues of common interest in fields such as defence, climate and energy, border management, the fight against terrorism, organised crime and the promotion of peace and stability.
On 19 May 2025, UK Prime Minister Starmer, Commission President von der Leyen and Council President Costa met in London. Following intense negotiations, both sides reached and signed a wide-ranging agreement. The outcomes of the summit were laid out in the three documents: (i) EU-UK Joint Statement; (ii) Security and Defence Partnership; and (iii) A renewed agenda for an EU-UK Cooperation Common Understanding.
The link between the Withdrawal Agreement and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement
Most of the challenges over the implementation of both agreements have been linked to the UK’s refusal to uphold its legal obligations under the Withdrawal Agreement. However, in the Windsor Political Declaration of 27 February 2023, both the Commission and the UK Government expressed their intention to fully exploit the potential of the TCA in the future.
The Windsor Framework aims to address the implementation challenges associated with the type of Brexit chosen by the UK, that the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland tried to resolve in order to maintain the stability and peace brought about through the Good Friday Agreement, with an open and seamless border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The broad support for the Framework, as demonstrated by the vote of 10 December 2024 in the Northern Ireland Assembly, has increased expectations of a positive spillover into other areas of cooperation between the EU and the UK.
Institutional structure and role of the European Parliament
The institutional arrangements provided for in the TCA are fully operational since 2022. All joint bodies are up and running, holding regular meetings. The constructive involvement of civil society is a welcome development.
Concerning bilateral relations between the European Parliament and Parliament of the UK, the establishment of the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly (PPA) has been a successful undertaking in line with the TCA, which promotes cooperation on common challenges. Since its establishment in 2022, it has met five times, most recently on 17-18 March 2025 in Brussels, marked by a spirit of cooperation and renewed enthusiasm for the partnership.
Concerning the involvement of UK devolved nations in the PPA, two Members of each of the devolved Assemblies are invited to participate as Observers by the UK Parliament. The European Parliament invites the President of the Committee of the Regions and the European Economic and Social Committee.
Free trade agreement: economic and social partnership
The TCA establishes a new economic and social partnership with the UK, covering not just trade in goods and services, but other areas as well, such as investment, competition, State aid, tax transparency, air and road transport, energy and sustainability, fisheries, personal data protection, and social security coordination. The TCA is the first FTA ever concluded by the EU providing zero tariffs and zero quotas on all goods that comply with the appropriate rules of origin.
Level playing field provisions are a crucial tenet of the agreement, whereby both parties have committed to maintaining high levels of protection in areas of the environmental protection, the fight against climate change and carbon pricing, social and labour rights, tax transparency and State aid, with effective, domestic enforcement, a binding dispute settlement mechanism and the possibility for both parties to take remedial measures.
The TCA establishes a new framework for the joint management of fish stocks in EU and UK waters.
On transport, the agreement provides for continued and sustainable air, road, rail and maritime connectivity, though market access falls below what the Single Market offers. It contains rules on competition, ensuring level playing field not to undermine passenger rights, worker’s rights and transport safety.
For energy, a new model for trading and interconnectivity has been set up, with guarantees for open and fair competition, including on safety standards for offshore, and production of renewable energy.
The TCA aims at ensuring a number of rights of EU citizens and UK nationals in the field of the social security coordination. This applies to citizens working in, travelling or moving to the other party of the TCA after 1 January 2021.
The TCA also provides for the possibility for the UK to participate in certain EU programmes subject to the adoption of bilateral protocols and financial contributions. As of 1 January 2024, the UK participates as an associated country in Horizon Europe Programme and in the Copernicus Programme.
Cooperation on Foreign Policy, Security and Defence
Despite the inclusion of EU-UK cooperation on foreign policy, external security and defence in the Political Declaration accompanying the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK government ultimately chose not to pursue negotiations on cooperation in this area within the TCA. Since January 2021 and until the adoption of the Security and Defence Partnership on 19 May 2025, no bilateral, institutionalised framework had existed through which a coordinated and unified response to foreign policy challenges can be agreed.
Nonetheless, cooperation between the EU and the UK in this area has been strong, particularly since the start of Russia’s illegal and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine. While coordination has taken place through various frameworks and on a more ad hoc basis, it has delivered a strong and unified response in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
On 14 October 2024, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy participated in the Foreign Affairs Council, with talks focussing on the main challenges facing European security. Furthermore, High Representative Borrell and UK Foreign Secretary Lammy agreed that the EU and the UK would establish a six-monthly Foreign Policy Dialogue to enable strategic cooperation on the highest priority issues of joint interest, namely on Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the Indo-pacific, hybrid threats and the Western Balkans.
On 3 February 2025 Prime Minister Starmer participated at a dinner with EU leaders discussing European defence and security at their informal meeting. Furthermore, the UK Prime Minister played an active role in initiating the ‘coalition of the willing’ aimed at establishing a coordinated international framework for the provision of support and assistance to Ukraine.
In its March 2025 White Paper on European Defence Readiness 2030, the Commission recognised the UK as a key European ally and called for closer security and defence cooperation in mutual interest, including a potential Security and Defence Partnership. It emphasised opportunities to build on existing agreements and expand collaboration in areas such as crisis management and defence industrial policy.
Parliament, in its resolution on the White Paper, recognised the need for the EU to act urgently to ensure its own autonomous security, while strengthening partnerships with like-minded partners and reducing its dependencies on non-EU countries. Parliament insisted on the need to ensure geographical coherence by taking stock of the will of the EU and the UK, first and foremost to build security guarantees for Ukraine and become even closer security partner.
Parliament recognises the contributions of the UK to Europe’s security and stability and welcomes the UK Government’s renewed commitment to explore closer and more lasting cooperation with the EU on foreign policy and security. In today’s geopolitical situation, the benefits of coordination between close geographical neighbours with shared democratic values are more evident than ever. Strengthening such cooperation not only reinforces mutual security and resilience, but also opens the door to developing a more structured cooperation, focused on achieving common.
On the procedure
The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) is based on Article 217 (Part five: The Union’s external action, Title V: International Agreements), in conjunction with Article 218 (Part five: External action by the Union, Title IV: Restrictive measures), of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
The TCA is unprecedented in terms of international agreements, due to its scope and complexity. Article 776 of the TCA puts an obligation for the parties to jointly review the implementation of the Agreement and supplementing agreements as well as any matters related thereto five years after its entry into force, and every five years thereafter.
Parliament therefore has developed a comprehensive, effective and transparent scrutiny process of the TCA, while ensuring a coherent and unified approach. Implementation reports on international agreements must take due account of the availability of reliable facts regarding the state of implementation of the relevant legislation. Effective scrutiny relies on the knowledge and expertise of all involved committees in accordance with their responsibilities and working practices. The monitoring of the TCA’s implementation is carried out by the Committees in a coordinated and inclusive manner, in full respect of their competences as laid out in Annex VI of the Rules of Procedure.
The report is the second evaluation by the European Parliament of the implementation of the TCA, since its provisional application from 1 January 2021 and entry into force on 1 May 2021. Since the entry into force, the Commission has published four implementation reports of the agreement for the years 2021 to 2024.
The report aims to take stock of the main issues linked to the implementation of the TCA, its satisfactory aspects and areas where implementation work needs to begin, and where work needs to continue, also highlighting elements which require continuous monitoring and scrutiny, including through the civil society and in particular, the domestic advisory group’s involvement.
The report has been elaborated in an inclusive manner by involving parliamentary committees in the broadest possible terms and recognising the particular sectorial expertise of each committee. Notably, ten parliamentary committees have been associated to the procedure under Rule 57 of the Rules of Procedure, namely BUDG, ECON, EMPL, ENVI, ITRE, IMCO, TRAN, PECH, CULT and LIBE.
The SANT Committee also provided an informal opinion, which was taken into account.
On 8 April 2025, the joint AFET -INTA committee held a public hearing ‘The implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement’ with the participation of four experts and the Commission.
MOTION FOR A EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT RESOLUTION
on the implementation of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement
(2024/2108(INI))
The European Parliament,
F. whereas the governance structures established under the TCA, including the Partnership Council and other joint bodies, have functioned effectively, with over 35 meetings held in 2024 to monitor the implementation of the Agreement;
G. whereas the TCA covers areas such as trade, energy, fisheries, transport, judicial and law enforcement cooperation, and social security coordination, providing a diversified and comprehensive framework and ensuring fair competition and a level playing field in the areas it covers; whereas the EU-UK Summit affirmed both parties’ renewed commitment to EU-UK energy cooperation, including plans to explore the UK’s re-entry into the EU’s internal energyelectricity market, with the aim of reducing clean energy costs and improving competitiveness;
H. whereas the implementation of the TCA can serve as a valuable incentive to promote training, skills development and investments in intangible assets, such as human capital, both within the EU and beyond its borders; whereas the importance of fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration to enhance the skills of individuals, thereby contributing to a more competitive, sustainable and inclusive global workforce, is recognised;
AX. whereas the Turing Scheme cannot be considered a replacement for the Erasmus+ programme, as it only finances outward mobility; whereas during the UK’s final year of Erasmus+ (2019-2020) the funding allocation to the UK was GBP 200 million, a larger sum than the GBP 110 million allocated for the Turing Scheme for 2022-2023;
AY. whereas from 2013 to 2016, 52.752,7 % of all mobility placements of UK students took place in an EU Member State; whereas 6 out of 10 mobility placements under the Turing Scheme for the 2021-2022 academic year were outside the EU;
AZ. whereas the number of EU students in the UK decreased from 66 685 in the academic year immediately before Brexit to 28 375 in the 2023-2024 academic year;
30. Welcomes the UK’s plans to legislate for the indefinite recognition of the CE marking across additional product regulations, which would further ease compliance challenges for EU manufacturers and facilitate the export of products that require such marking from the UK to the EU; urges the Commission to swiftly launch negotiations with the UK to ensure strong alignment of conformity assessments for products, particularly in highly integrated sectors, in order to remove redundant testing, reduce business costs and strengthen the internal market; encourages both parties to pursue pragmatic arrangements for the mutual recognition of conformity assessment results in product sectors that are clearly low-risk, with a view to reducing unnecessary compliance costs and administrative burdens, particularly for SMEs, while safeguarding and further strengthening consumer safety and protection; encourages the Commission to build on this development by seeking sector-specific mutual recognition arrangements where regulatory convergence already exists, thereby eliminating unnecessary duplication of certification procedures, where appropriate;
31. Notes that the agreement towards establishing a common SPS area would significantly reduce trade friction and contribute to stability and predictability for businesses by removing the vast majority of certification and control requirements for the movement of animals, animal products, plants and plant products between Great Britain and the EU while maintaining high standards of health and consumer protection, food safety and animal welfare; underlines that these benefits for farmers, SMEs and consumers across the EU and the UK would also extend to the movement of such goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland; notes that the future SPS Agreement should allow for dynamic alignment by the UK, be subject to a dispute resolution mechanism with an independent arbitration panel and accept the Court of Justice of the European Union as the final authority on matters of EU law; welcomes the intention to involveinform the UK at an early stage in the EU’s decision-making process in areas covered by the future SPS Agreement; urges the Commission to come forward with a roadmap for SPS negotiations with the UK; furthermore invites both parties to step up regulatory dialogue in non-SPS aspects of food product regulation and avoid divergences in areas such as labelling and packaging; stresses that any UK access to EU systems, databases or agencies under EU programmes relevant to the SPS Agreement must be conditional upon the full recovery of related costs to the EU budget; underlines that such participation must deliver clear benefits to the EU and its stakeholders, in line with the principle of budgetary proportionality;
32. Reiterates the strategic need for enhanced cooperation between the EU and the UK to maintain and modernise the current, fair and rules-based international trade order and address shared global economic challenges; calls, in this regard, for additional joint efforts in working towards an inclusive and comprehensive reform of the WTO, answering current and future challenges in a deeply interlinked world, and actively working against any new danger of division to the global political and economic order, as well as unilateral and unjustified trade measures and tariffs that have hit both the EU and the UK recently; calls, therefore, on both sides to continue to support consumers facing strains linked to the cost of living; stresses that in this context reinforced EU-UK cooperation is essential to strengthen supply chain resilience and reduce strategic dependencies; underlines that both parties should intensify joint efforts to de-risk critical supply chains in line with EU priorities on economic security; while noting that cooperation on critical raw minerals was not part of the conclusions of the EU-UK Summit, encourages the EU and the UK to strengthen Europe’s autonomy in this regard; encourages the launch of structured dialogues and targeted initiatives to promote diversification, build mutual trust and enhance strategic autonomy, with a view to fostering sustainable growth and shared prosperity; calls on the Commission to examine the details of the agreement announced on 8 May 2025 between the UK and the United States (‘Economic Prosperity Deal’) to ensure that none of its provisions undermine the TCA or any potential agreement between the EU and the UK; notes that, while its content still has to be clarified, the Economic Prosperity Deal may have an impact on the level playing field between the EU and the UK in the context of the TCA as well as any dynamic alignment stemming from the conclusions of the EU-UK Summit, such as on a common SPS area; welcomes the agreement on tariff-free trade in steel products, recognising this as a positive development that provides much-needed stability and predictability for key industrial sectors; recalls that the TCA includes specific commitments to uphold international trade rules, cooperate in multilateral forums, and exchange information on trade remedies and global trade developments; welcomes the outcomes of the EU-UK Summit, where both parties reaffirmed their intention to strengthen coordination on WTO reform, support transparent and rules-based trade, and pursue joint approaches to pressing trade disputes and stresses that the effective implementation of these commitments is essential to reinforcing the EU-UK partnership as a force for stability and predictability in global trade governance; welcomes the UK Government’s recent announcement that it will join the WTO Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement, which will ensure the continued effectiveness of the dispute resolution system while broader reforms to the WTO are being negotiated; stresses that in the currently volatile global trade context, the unique position of Northern Ireland must be taken into account in the formulating of trade policy by both the UK Government and the Commission;
39. Welcomes the efforts led by the EU and the UK to call for international cooperation in managing the challenges and risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI) in order to promote global AI governance based on democratic values, shared standards and robust safeguards; notes that the EU has adopted a comprehensive, risk-based regulatory framework through the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), adopted in 2024, while the UK has so far taken a more light-touch regulatory approach, without introducing a horizontal AI law; calls for greater convergence of AI regulation between the EU and the UK in order to allow a dynamic sector to grow in a safe environment; regrets, in this regard, the fact that the UK did not sign the Statement on Inclusive and Sustainable Artificial Intelligence for People and the Planet at the international AI Action Summit in Paris on 11 February 2025; stresses the importance of structured EU-UK cooperation on AI governance, given the shared commitment to promoting safe, transparent and accountable AI systems, and in order to avoid regulatory fragmentation, participate in standard setting, and explore mutual recognition arrangements for conformity assessment; regrets the absence of a dedicated commitment to AI cooperation in the Common Understanding on a renewed agenda for EU–UK relations, despite the strategic importance of fostering transnational alignment on trustworthy AI development and recalls that Article 39 of the AI Act allows for the recognition of conformity assessment bodies established in third countries under specific conditions and subject to an agreement between the EU and the non-EU country concerned; underlines the risk of increasing regulatory divergence, particularly between the EU’s binding AI Act and the UK’s sector-led approach, despite converging priorities on risk-based classification, copyright protection and systemic risks; notes the UK-US memorandum of understanding on AI, which could lead to divergence in minimum standards between the EU and the UK and calls on the Commission to assess the impacts of this agreement and report back to Parliament; insists on the need to establish a common understanding of the benefits and challenges of AI; calls for enhanced technical dialogue between regulators to support regulatory interoperability and reduce compliance complexity for businesses; acknowledges the current discussions in the UK on changes to copyright law; expresses concern that such plans may impact negatively on European artists and creators, in particular with regard to the proposal to set up an opt-out system;
40. Notes that Articles 103 to 107 and 109 of the AI Act amend existing EU product legislation that applies to and in the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland under Annex 2 ofto the Windsor Framework; takes note of the Commission’sCouncil’s proposalDecision of 2414 MarchApril 2025 to include certain provisionssetting ofout the AIUnion’s Actposition in Annexthe 2EU to– theUK WindsorJoint Framework,Committee withas regards the aimaddition of ensuring consistency in the regulationAI ofAct goodsin andAnnex associated2 servicesto inthe NorthernWindsor Ireland;Framework; acknowledges that greater regulatory alignment in areas such as product safety and market surveillance may help to support legal clarity and market continuity; encourages continued dialogue between the EU and the UK within the framework of the Joint Committee, with a view to identifying mutually acceptable approaches that uphold high standards of consumer protection and regulatory coherence;
41. Recalls that the TCA recognises the importance of high standards of data protection and privacy, while allowing each party to maintain its own regulatory autonomy; finds that there are risks associated with potential regulatory divergence between the EU and the UK; notes that the UK’s data protection regime has remained broadly aligned with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enabling the continuation of the EU adequacy decision which facilitates frictionless data flows critical for cross-border services; notes the ongoing reform of the UK’s data protection framework through the Data (Use and Access) Bill, which introduces a range of substantive changes to existing UK GDPR provisions; reiterates the importance of maintaining high-level data protection standards for the transfer and processing of personal data between the two parties, including for individuals whose personal data is processed in the UK, particularly where data originates from the EU, and calls for regular information sharing between the EU and the UK; welcomes enhanced regulatory cooperation on digital issues, such as the administrative arrangement of 30 April 2024 between the Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology and the UK’s Office of Communications (Ofcom), which prioritises the exchange of information relating to the supervision of risk assessment and mitigation efforts by providers of large online platforms; calls for reinforced dialogue under the TCA’s Trade Specialised Committee on Services, Investment and Digital Trade to ensure stable conditions for data transfers and legal certainty for operators;
50. Notes that in October 2024 the UK Government announced its intention to establish a new Fair Work Agency within the Department for Business and Trade, to replace existing state enforcement bodies for labour protection;
51. Calls on the Commission and the PPA to closely monitor for potential non-regression in labour standards and other developments in workers’ rights in the UK, and to continue its efforts with the UK Government to ensure full compliance with the TCA; calls on the Commission to use all available means to address any concerns that could necessitate the application of Chapter 6 of Title XI of the TCA, including through dialogue in the PPA and the specialised committees, consultation with the EU DAG and, where necessary, the dispute settlement mechanisms provided for under Article 389;
52. Calls for the EU and the UK to explore avenues for further cooperation and exchange of best practices in the areas of employment and social protection; recognises the potential for mutual collaboration to improve the implementation and enforcement of employment policies, ensuring fair competition, sustainable growth for companies and fair working conditions for workers in both the EU and the UK; recalls that social partners play a genuine role in both monitoring and enforcing the TCA, including the power to submit official complaints;
84. Stresses that expanding the range of sectors covered under the TCA’s public procurement chapter would be a meaningful step toward strengthening the level playing field; welcomes the UK’s Procurement Act 2023, in particular the benefits it offers through the greater standardisation and streamlining of procurement processes, and highlights the need to ensure fair access to public procurement; calls on the UK Government and the Commission to improve market access for SMEs by reducing the bureaucratic burden and thus create economic opportunities and provide incentives for taking them; highlights, in this regard, the importance of reducing barriers to cross-border trade for SMEs and of supporting fair competition and economic opportunity in cross-border cooperation;
85. Calls on the Commission to fully implement the SME chapter of the TCA by swiftly establishing the SME Committee,contact points, as provided for under the agreement, ensuring the active participation of organisations representing SMEs; considers that the SME Committee should be tasked with identifying barriers to trade, including to investment, that specifically affect SMEs, and proposing targeted solutions to reduce compliance costs and regulatory burdens, including through the exchange of best practices on SME support schemes and digital company registration; stresses the need for increased flexibility regarding business mobility by broadening the list of activities permitted under short-term visa-free arrangements and reducing the costs and complexities of visa processes for SMEs;
86. Calls, furthermore, for sustainability criteria to be considered in public procurement procedures for specific sectors, where appropriate and proportionate; highlights that measures should be adopted to promote the participation of SMEs, including by simplifying procedures, cutting red tape and ensuring the transparent publication of notices and criteria; notes that the EU and the UK should ensure reciprocal and non-discriminatory access to their respective public procurement markets;
127. Emphasises the importance of integration between EU and UK energy markets, which can improve security of supply, stimulate clean energy production, and lower energy costs for both parties; believes that high levels of physical interconnection capacity need to be complemented by more integrated wholesale energy markets that can facilitate energy security and trading between the EU and the UK; finds that, despite closer cooperation between regulators and transmission system operators, little progress has been made in terms of developing the new electricity trading arrangements envisaged under Article 312 of the TCA; recalls that the UK no longer avails of EU single market tools for market coupling for electricity trading, such as EU Single Day-Ahead Coupling, leading to inefficient trading over interconnectors that raises wholesale costs and ultimately feeds through to higher consumer bills, as well as hindering investment in multipurpose interconnectors;
128. Welcomes the recent EU and UK commitment and political agreement to extend EU-UK energy cooperation on a continuous basis and to explore the parameters for the UK’s potential participation in the internal electricity market, including dynamic alignment and contributions to the costs associated with this policy area as set out in the EU-UK Common Understanding; calls for immediate negotiations on market alignment and for their timely conclusion, and emphasises the need for swift and decisive progress; highlights that such participation would lower energy prices and benefit consumers and businesses; stresses that such a deal would have to be found before 30 June 2026, when the current arrangements expire; stresses that, especially in the light of the changing geopolitical context and global trade uncertainty, areas of clear mutual interest include clean energy cooperation in the North Seas, linking the respective EU and UK emissions trading systems to avoid friction from their respective CBAM, improving electricity trading arrangements and closer coordination in infrastructure planning, thereby enhancing energy security and industrial competitiveness across Europe; calls for both parties to cooperate closely to ensure that a workable framework can be established in a timely manner, so as to limit legal uncertainty; calls for concrete joint efforts by the EU and the UK towards greater cooperation on nuclear energy, a low-carbon and affordable source of electricity, which is vital to reach climate neutrality and maintain the competitiveness of European industries; recalls that structured cooperation between the EU and the UK in areas such as electricity interconnectors and offshore renewable infrastructure may intersect with EU funding programmes, including regional and energy initiatives; emphasises that any UK participation in such frameworks requires appropriate governance, compliance with EU rules, and appropriate financial contributions reflecting the EU’s investment; calls on the Commission to provide Parliament with full information on any financial contribution to be provided by the UK in these areas;
129. Welcomes the joint position of the Commission and the UK, as expressed at the recent EU-UK Summit, that linking carbon markets would help address trade-related and level playing field concerns, in accordance with Article 392(6) of the TCA, and would exempt UK-based firms from the CBAM, reduce trade frictions and foster alignment on carbon pricing, thereby reinforcing shared decarbonisation objectives and contributing to the achievement of climate neutrality targets;
133. Welcomes the fact that both parties maintain comparable ambitions with regard to energy efficiency and the promotion of renewable energy sources by 2030, with the ultimate shared goal of climate neutrality by 2050; congratulates the UK on its achievement of phasing out coal power generation on 1 October 2024, as the first G7 nation and advanced, industrialised country to achieve this goal; stresses the importance of the non-regression clause concerning environmental protection in the TCA, which neither party can diverge from without jeopardising the agreement as a whole;
134. Views favourably the willingness of both parties to contemplate greater regulatory and technological cooperation on clean technologies such as carbon capturecapture, andutilisation undergroundand storage, and renewable energies including offshore wind, hydrogen, biomethane and sustainable biofuels; notes, however, that the UK’s decision to leave the EU single market poses inevitable challenges to the format of and limits the scope for bilateral cooperation in the energy field; calls on both parties to find new ways to improve the quality and depth of their bilateral cooperation on clean and renewable energy technologies;
135. Stresses the importance of coordinated planning and convergence in permitting procedures between the EU and the UK to ensure the development of renewables and in particular offshore wind, electricity infrastructure and CO2 storage, as well as hybrid energy projects in the North Seas; believes that both parties need to work closely together to transform the North Seas into a green energy hub that can also help to guarantee security of supply, inter alia through high levels of offshore wind energy production, in line with the non-binding EU goal of achieving around 360 GW of installed offshore generation capacity by 2050; calls on the Commission and the Member States to strengthen regional cooperation on offshore grid planning and critical energy infrastructure development with the UK, as well as on all sea basins with neighbouring countries, in order to enhance system robustness and reduce the likelihood of infrastructure disruption and energy supply failures;
191. Calls on the Commission, given the specific situation of the Channel Islands, to facilitate collaboration between the parties through better links between regional dialogue and the Quad Meeting; calls for the parties to involve representatives of the fisheries sector, all relevant stakeholders, and local and regional authorities, and to promote the fisheries co-management model;
192. Recalls that the Brexit Adjustment Reserve (BAR) was established to counter the economic, social, territorial and environmental consequences of Brexit; recalls that this EUR 5.45,4 billion fund was intended to benefit the fisheries sector, including small-scale fisheries, which were disproportionately impacted by Brexit; recalls that the BAR Regulation required the Commission to inform Parliament and the Council of the state of play of the implementation process by June 2024; regrets the fact that the Commission has not provided any information on the matter so far; requests that, before the end of 2025, Parliament and Council be informed of the state of play of the BAR implementation process;
Social security coordination
214. Considers that such a scheme holds significant potential to inspire a new generation of young people in the EU and the UK, by fostering lawful, people-to-people exchanges rooted in shared democratic values, cultural understanding and mutual trust, and that it could lay the foundation for long-term cooperation, social cohesion and stronger transnational networks among young people; further encourages both sides to consider facilitating mobility between the UK and the EU even beyond the proposed youth experience scheme;
215. Underlines that the temporary nature of this provision makes it a cultural and educational exchange, not a migration policy tool; notes that the UK already has youth mobility schemes with other countries, such as Japan; emphasises that more equitable benefits can be gained if the EU conducts joint negotiations than if the Member States negotiate bilateral agreements individually; 216. Welcomes, likewise, the EU-UK Summit declaration of intent to work towards the UK’s participation in the EU’s Erasmus+ programme, which would be mutually beneficial, as promoting youth mobility, training and sport between the EU and the UK would be highly valuable; calls on the Commission and the UK to expedite negotiations in this regard, to find an association solution that would benefit both parties; stresses, in this context, the particular role of Erasmus+ as a driver of European values, cultural diversity, civic engagement and social inclusion, and the associated strengthening of Europe’s resilience; notes that the youth mobility scheme and the UK’s re-association to the Erasmus+ programme might be launched simultaneously, highlighting the need for both initiatives to be complementary and mutually reinforcing;
216. Welcomes, likewise, the EU-UK Summit declaration of intent to work towards the UK’s participation in the EU’s Erasmus+ programme, which would be mutually beneficial, as promoting youth mobility, training and sport between the EU and the UK would be highly valuable; calls on the Commission and the UK to expedite negotiations in this regard, to find an association solution that would benefit both parties; stresses, in this context, the particular role of Erasmus+ as a driver of European values, cultural diversity, civic engagement and social inclusion, and the associated strengthening of Europe’s resilience; notes that the youth mobility scheme and the UK’s re-association to the Erasmus+ programme might be launched simultaneously, highlighting the need for both initiatives to be complementary and mutually reinforcing;
217. Insists that this association must be consistent with the MFF and the TCA; recalls that any potential participation of the UK in EU programmes such as Erasmus+ should be assessed and designed in a manner that fully safeguards and promotes the interests of the EU, including ensuring clear added value for the EU and its citizens; calls on the Commission to provide timely and detailed information on the financial terms of future UK participation in Erasmus+ and on any financial implications of any future youth experience scheme;
254. Calls for the EU and the UK to ensure that immobilised Russian state assets can be used to support Ukraine’s defence, reconstruction and reparations through confiscation or any other necessary legal means;
255.
