Von der Leyen said, “Today, we are taking another step in the reshaped EU-UK strategic partnership process. We have completed negotiations for the UK to join the “Erasmus Program +” in 2027, so that this program can once again benefit young people from both sides, open a new door for them to experience together, and forge lasting friendships. At the same time, we have completed exploratory discussions on matters relating to the UK's participation in the EU's internal electricity market. The two sides promise to continue to push forward the implementation of the common agenda to ensure tangible results before the next EU-UK summit.”
