Sir Julian King to be questioned on future UK-EU security after Brexit
The House of Lords EU Home Affairs Sub-Committee will continue to take evidence for its inquiry Brexit: the proposed UK-EU security treaty on Thursday 14 June when it will question Sir Julian King, Commissioner for the Security Union, European Commission.
The Committee will ask the witness what current EU internal security frameworks will be most important to maintain as part the future security relationship between the EU and UK, and what fall-back options would be available to the EU should the EU and UK fail to reach an agreement on security.
The evidence session will begin at 10:00 a.m. in Committee Room 3A of the House of Lords. Questions are likely to include:
- How important will it be for the EU to continue security cooperation with the UK after Brexit?
- Will the UK be able to retain a role in the governance of organisations such as Europol during the transition period?
- Is a treaty a viable model for the future security relationship? Are there any aspects of the current EU security framework that cannot be included in a treaty?
- How important will it be for the EU to continue security cooperation with the UK after Brexit?
