Sajjad Karim is a British politician and solicitor , who served as a Conservative Member of the European Parliament for the North West England between 2004 and 2019. He is a member of the executive board of European Movement UK and the Chair of Conservative European Forum Trade.
In this fifth episode of the Brussels Report Podcast, BrusselsReport.eu editor Pieter Cleppe discusses with him:
– how to soften trade restrictions and extra bureaucracy resulting from the brexit trade deal agreed between the EU and the UK, not only when it comes to the checks the UK has promised to impose on goods traded between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but also when it comes to financial services and data
– how should the long term relationship between Britain and the EU evolve: should Britain join the European Free Trade Association (EFTA)? Is it feasible for Britain to rejoin the EU one day? And for that to happen, how should the EU change?
– how should Western Europe deal with large-scale immigration and the challenges it brings, despite the benefits?
