## Summary

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is meeting European leaders as he prepares a UK-EU “reset” package, with a summit due next Friday. The talks matter because the proposed closer ties could involve significant policy and financial commitments, while also reopening debate within Labour about whether Britain should eventually rejoin the EU.

Possible measures include UK contributions to EU funds, a youth mobility scheme, alignment with EU rules, and agreements on food, drink and emissions trading; EU states may also seek cut-price tuition fees for their students. Burnham says the government will assess options for the longer-term relationship and present their merits and drawbacks to voters, while asking ministers to avoid publicly backing a particular outcome. Former prime minister David Cameron has warned against pursuing EU re-entry, arguing Brexit is not responsible for the UK’s current economic problems.
