up for review in 2025, and could provide grounds for a reassessment of some “technical” aspects of the dealBut Anthony Salamone , the managing director of political analysis firm European Merchants, said the Labour leaders’ ability to “substantially” renegotiate the deal would be severely limited by the political will in both London and Brussels.
“And also perhaps some insights from them as to why the EU would agree to whatever it was they were proposing. “It is a mandatory review but I don’t see that as being a vehicle to reopen a huge amount of substance, the purpose of that is just to make sure that everything, from a technical point of view is working the way it’s supposed to and if detailed amendments need to be made to enable the agreement to function,” he said.
And reopening negotiations on substantive areas of the UK-EU relationship could create a precedent for each new government to do so after an election, Salamone warned – something the EU would likely want to avoid.
