OSW Centre for Eastern Studies · May 23Breaking the deadlock: the EU-UK security and defence partnershipOn 19 May, during the EU–UK summit in London, a breakthrough was achieved in bilateral relations following the United Kingdom’s formal exit from the EU in 2020. Both sides adopted a Joint Statement, a Security and Defence Partnership, and a Common Understanding on a Renewed Agenda for European Union – United Kingdom Cooperation. The signing of these documents was made possible by compromises on previously contentious issues (such as fisheries).
