“UK Could Rejoin EU via ‘Switzerland Plus’ Deal Within Months, Says Senior MEP Bernd Lange” — what this page in the network covers. The UK could swiftly re-enter the European Union through a “Switzerland plus” arrangement that might be negotiated within months if Britain decides to deepen ties, according to Bernd Lange, a senior MEP who played a key role in Brexit talks. Lange, who chairs the European Parliament’s trade committee, expressed a desire to see the UK return, noting that the bloc misses Britain’s influence in decision-making, particularly its strong tradition of promoting open markets and democracy.
His comments suggest a potential fast-track path to closer integration, modeled on Switzerland’s bilateral agreements but with additional provisions. While no formal proposal is on the table, the remarks highlight growing EU openness to a possible UK return, though political will in London remains the critical variable.
