About this event

The British Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Clifford Chance are pleased to invite you to a BCC LIVE event "Getting Brexit done: Fewer than 200 days to the end of the transition period" with special guest speakers Luc Frieden, partner, Elvinger Hoss, and Chairman of the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, as well as a former Luxembourg Minister of Finance, and Michel Petite, Of Counsel, Clifford Chance, and former head of the Legal Service of the European Commission. This will take place on Wednesday 10 June at 14:00.

While Europe is slowly emerging from lockdown and the economic consequences of the COVID-19 crisis are being assessed, one might overlook the fact that in fewer than 200 days, unless an extension is agreed by the end of this month, the transition period set out in the Withdrawal Agreement will come to an end. The UK's departure from the European Union will then be fully effective.  Luc Frieden and Michel Petite will discuss the road to the 31 December 2020 deadline, the impact (or absence thereof) of COVID-19 on the Brexit process as well as the future relations between the EU-27 and the United Kingdom.  With their vast experience of working in and with the EU institutions, we can expect an insightful debate and a useful reminder of the many questions Brexit continues to raise.

The discussion will be moderated by Steve Jacoby, Managing Partner, Clifford Chance.

We want you to be involved so if you have a question to one or both of the speakers, please email info@bcc.lu.

We look forward to seeing you online!
