'Brexit' is an issue with multiple approaches and consequences both for the United Kingdom and for the member countries of the European Union (EU).
"For the first time in history since its foundation, a member of the European Union leaves this institution. Great Britain is one of the strongest states in Europe, and its departure can lead to catastrophic consequences at the political, social or economic level," he says. Antonio Pastor, director of the seminar 'The consequences of 'Brexit' for Spain and its companies'.
On November 12, in room 216 of the Madrid campus of the URJC, Antonio Pastor will offer a talk entitled 'Brexit and International Public Law', which will focus on the legal aspects of this situation. The 'Brexit' represents one of "the most important regulatory changes in the history of the European Union", according to Pastor himself.
"Never before has the exit of a member country from the European Union been faced, with all that this entails. Breaking agreements of all the member countries, failing to comply with European regulations, having to reach a common agreement between Great Britain and the European Union for the most important issues of its exit, and in the event that there is no agreement ratified by both parties, that the United Kingdom would have to negotiate and reach agreements with the states that belong to the European Union on issues as important as health, trade, immigration, defence, tourism...", indicates the professor of Public International Law and International Relations at the URJC.
However, Pastor, as the organizer of this activity, intends to give the situation an opportunity approach. "We want this seminar to serve to see the new opportunities that are being generated. Those who are better prepared by creating contingency plans in their companies, anticipating the problems that arise, to face this crisis will come out stronger," says Pastor.
Last week it became known that the European Union granted for the third time an extension to Great Britain to reach an exit agreement that would ratify its parliament. The third moratorium is for three months, enough time for 'Brexit' to take place with a bilateral agreement and with the approval of the 'House of Lords', and not unilaterally.
"The difference between the UK leaving the EU with an agreement or not is that, without a bilateral agreement between the two parties, Great Britain will have to negotiate with each country the issues that interest it, and it will have to do so within a framework That is, to give an example, the regularization of the legal stay of Spanish citizens working in the United Kingdom and that of British citizens residing in Spain will have to be with an identical time and process. bilaterally, all these conditions would be set within the agreement itself," says Pastor.
