EU politicians debate Britain and Europe

02 Dec 2014

A debate between what were some of the country’s most experienced MEPs is taking place at the University on Thursday, 11 December (6-8pm) in University Place, Room 4.205

Chris Davies (Lib Dem MEP, 1999-2014), Gary Titley (Labour Party MEP, 1989-2009);  Michael Welsh (Conservative MEP, 1979-1994) will discuss what the future holds for Britain and the EU,

The event, called “What future for Britain and the EU: a panel discussion” is hosted by the University’s Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence and the European Movement.

It will be chaired by Professor Dimitris Papadimitriou, Director of the JMCE. He said: “Since David Cameron promised  an in/out referendum on British membership of the European Union last year, Europe has never been far from the headlines.

"If the Conservative Party wins a majority at the next general election, they will hold the poll after a period of renegotiation with the EU.

"Our distinguished panel, who have for many years been at the centre of European politics, will debate how these issues play out in Europe and its relationship to Britain.

“It’s a free event, and anyone is welcome  to join us.”
