Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, emphasized the need for a 'reset' of relations between the European Union and the United Kingdom, in her speech before the Spanish Senate. She stated that, ten years after Brexit, both parties must overcome historical grievances and collaborate more closely in areas such as trade, research, and security.
Metsola highlighted the importance of pragmatic collaboration, in the context where London seeks easier access to European markets and the SAFE funding program, aimed at the procurement of military equipment. Although the United Kingdom has faced difficulties in gaining access to this program, Metsola's intervention suggests a change in tone that could support British arguments for closer relations. Additionally, Metsola emphasized the need to strengthen European defense through cooperation with NATO, considering the increasing tensions with the USA.
