Why the APPG on Europe is needed
The UK and EU are deeply intertwined through trade, shared history, and aligned geopolitical interests, making close cooperation not only beneficial but essential. Recent global challenges have shown that no nation can address issues like climate change, security threats, or public health alone. Even outside the EU, the UK’s interests are closely linked to the stability and success of our continent.
From defence to youth opportunities and trade, there is undeniable mutual benefit in breaking down barriers and working together. In this spirit—and to fill the diminished space for parliamentary discussion on European matters—Lord Kirkhope and Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP established the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Europe.
