After Brexit: An Introduction to Fragmentation in the Scope of European Integration

Tuesday 25 October 2016
5pm – 6pm

David Hume Tower · Room 4.18
George Square · Edinburgh EH8 9JX

Oliver Garner
PhD Candidate in European Union Law
European University Institute


The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union will be the first time that an entire Member State polity loses the legal rights that they derive from the European Union’s legal order, in addition to losing the supranational status of citizen of the EU. Furthermore, the de-application of EU law norms in the United Kingdom’s legal order will mean that EU citizens from other Member States who are present on the UK’s territory will be unable to rely on EU law that may be fundamental to their life plans. Consequently, this presentation will consider potential solutions to protect both European citizens and European citizenship from the full force of this fragmentation in the scope of European integration.
