DESCRIPTION:Alexandra von Westernhagen – Partner in EU Competition & Regulatory Law\, Keystone Law (London) and Liberius Legal (Brussels) will discuss citizenship (which is internationally accepted as a synonym for “nationality”) has been considered as one of the most fundamental human rights. It is protected by a number of International Human Rights legal instruments\, including the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, which states that “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality… “\, as well as the Council of Europe Convention on Citizenship\, which also prohibits the arbitrary withdrawal of citizenship. \nIn the wake of the UK leaving the EU\, several cases on the nature and scope of EU citizenship have been brought before the Court of Justice of the EU (see for example\, case T- 252/20). \nThe question in all these cases is whether with Brexit\, individuals who did not hold any nationality of an EU member state other than British nationality at the time of the UK’s exit from the EU have automatically lost their EU citizenship. \nIt also leads to several related questions which we will discuss during our session\, including: \n* What is EU citizenship? Is it a real citizenship?\n* Who grants EU citizenship?\n* Can you be a citizen of the Union without being a national of one of its member states?\n* Who can remove EU citizenship and under what conditions?\n* Could EU citizenship be the first citizenship in modern times that is not based on a territory?\n* If so\, what is it based on?

But instead of clearing Northern Ireland from the UK and EU’s post-Brexit radars\, the debate around the Protocol has been central to tensions between them ever since. Katy will look at the Protocol from a slightly different perspective\, drawing on close monitoring of the Protocol’s development and implementation. She will show why the Protocol should be a concern to the public in Great Britain because of what it seeks to protect\, because of the way it has been handled\, and because what happens to it in future – for good or ill – will have implications for the whole of the United Kingdom.

However\, very little has been said about the social consequences particularly for women and their status in society and in the employment market. This topic is now being widely discussed in view of the government’s determination to push through as quickly as possible the Retained EU Law bill which will remove the legislation still in force from the period when Britain was a member of the EU\, much of which refers to social issues. \nThe Anglo-German Society\, Dortmund \, in association with Leeds For Europe\, would like to invite you to a Zoom talk by Ms Amanda Nanhoo-Robinson\, an experienced British barrister\, who will give an overview of the situation of women in Britain today and how the REUL Bill would affect their status in British society in the future. There will also be ample time for questions.

DESCRIPTION:A virtual meeting including Q&A with David Henig and Alex Andreou\, discussing the latest developments in our relations with our EU neighbours. . \nOnce again Brexit is at the forefront of public debate. Does the Windsor Protocol mean the Tories have ‘got Brexit done’ or is it a first tentative step towards undoing it? What can we make of the recent cross-party summit allegedly designed to “make Brexit work“? What about the chaotic Retained EU Law Bill\, a rolling juggernaut which the current PM is too weak to stop? \nAgainst all the uncertainty\, opinion polls are starting to show a significant majority not only regretting Brexit but also favouring the principle of rejoining. Yet politicians on both sides lag behind public opinion. Where is a possible landing point to solve the interminable problems that Brexit has caused\, given that politicians on both sides have ruled out rejoining the Single Market\, at least for the time being? Is there room for any hope? \nWe are pleased to welcome two expert speakers from different but complementary backgrounds\, who will most certainly give us a lot to think about\, and are happy to answer questions from the audience Speaker profiles are on the event page.

What are the key aspects to this role? \nYou may still be undecided\, may have further questions not covered in the hustings or may want further details to help you decide. Patience is more than keen to engage with the members and of course with the organisation itself. This will be a good opportunity for her to meet members\, and for members to learn about her in a more relaxed atmosphere than the hustings.

More details and Eventbrite ticket links are on the event page \nThere is a widespread view among economists that Brexit has had a substantial negative impact on the UK economy. However\, some economists disagree. This event will bring together economists with different perspectives to discuss the widely publicised estimates by the Centre for European Reform\, the OBR and others including the BriefingsforBritain website\, and to see what common ground if any\, exists on what we know about the economic impacts of Brexit to date.

DESCRIPTION:Before Brexit and Covid\, our creative industries contributed over 4% to GDP and over £100 billion to the economy. They were in surplus with the EU and the rest of world. However\, they lost 31% of their turnover in 2020. \nNow\, because the UK has decided not to rejoin the EU Creative Europe programme and refuses freedom of movement\, the end of Brexit transition threatens to destroy touring\, performance\, partnership and exchange possibilities with our European neighbours. The government seems to want to banish Europe as a special locus for cooperation/partnership and cultural influence. Why have organisations like the Creative Industries Federation made so little fuss? \nBrexit has meant that our film industry\, which exported more than any other EU country to the rest of the European continent\, has lost access to the EU MEDIA programme – an integral part of the Creative Europe programme. \nWhere is the lobby to re-join this valuable programme? Are our artists\, performers and film makers afraid of repercussions? During 2020\, arts and cultural networks were told that the government would appreciate more congratulations for the little it was doing for the sector. Has this had a chilling effect on our ability to campaign to re-join Creative Europe? \nA Creator’s Council exists to give voice to creators’ interests\, from actors through to fine artists\, but government doesn’t appear to be listening.
