The implications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union on readmission cooperation

Briefing 06-02-2018

This briefing investigates the implications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union in the area of readmission policy as part of the wider Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. The authors examine the UK’s current engagement with the EU’s readmission policy and the asymmetrical nature of the impact of the UK’s withdrawal. They also map the potential future relationship on readmission and, using existing models of cooperation with third countries, set out how this can be structured within the future relationship agreement.
