The Guardian|December 09, 2024

Reeves: closer ties with EU will replace division and chaos

The chancellor will say she wants to adopt a business-like approach through an "economic reset" with the EU, offering the goal of driving up trade and growth.

"This is the first time a British chancellor has addressed the Eurogroup [of finance ministers] since Brexit," Reeves will tell the meeting in Brussels today.

"It is a signal of the new UK government's commitment to resetting our country's relationship with the EU, and the importance I place in realising the economic potential of our shared future.

"I know that the last few years have been fractious. Division and chaos defined the last government's approach to Europe. It will not define ours."
