More flexibility: What does the UK want and what could the others accept?
Informations pratiques

En savoir plus sur nos programmes de soutienThe United Kingdom is undergoing an important debate vis-à-vis its membership to the European Union. Domestic in essence, this debate however needs to be better appreciated across Europe. Despite the specificities of the UK relationship with the EU, some elements might resonate in other countries, especially since Eurosceptic sentiments are growing across Europe and since there is an increasing disconnect between European citizens and the European project.
In addition, the UK debate is rekindling talks of more flexibility within the EU at a time when “more Europe” has been headlining every European Council for the past few years. Despite the stepping-up toward more integration, there seems to be a slow but genuine realization that the steps taken so far and those that are on the agenda today could fundamentally change the EU and national politics. Those changes may eventually occur, but they require a leap of faith that some may not be prepared to take at face value. Talks of “more flexibility” may become less taboo across Europe and shall be addressed. The Dutch “subsidiarity review” is a resounding example in that matter. What kind of flexibility are the British talking about? What kind of flexibility could be acceptable for other member states? What could be the consequences for the EU to accept more flexibility politically and institutionally?
This expert seminar was held under the Chatham House rule. The objective was to open a frank discussion about an issue that is likely to gain attention in the coming years.

Un nouvel échiquier. Présentation du Ramses 2026
Un échiquier mondial haché par les vertiges de puissance. Un spectre hante le monde : la fragmentation - après des décennies chantant l'ouverture et l'unification sous le signe du progrès technique et de l'accélération des échanges. On passerait ainsi d'un espace mondialisé à un espace haché, émietté en égoïsmes nationaux, intérêts égoïstes insoucieux des autres, effaçant au passage l'espoir d'une gouvernance faisant écho aux intérêts communs d'une humanité unie.
