Executive Forum Roundtable Luncheon – Anthony Miller, Deputy Director for EU Member States Trade Relations, DBT

On September 18, the BSCC hosted an Executive Forum Roundtable Luncheon generously hosted by Eversheds-Sutherland with Anthony Miller, Deputy Director for EU Member States Trade Relations, DBT.

The discussion centred on current UK-EU trade dynamics and future cooperation, covering:

• The complexity of services trade and the broader need for adaptive, forward-looking trade strategies
• The EU’s evolving Trade and Industrial policies and their implications for cross-border partnerships
• Export and regulatory challenges, particularly in high-cost sectors like defence
• Labour mobility, including the demand for skilled workers and ongoing discussions around a Youth Experience Scheme
• The long-term economic impact of Brexit, with reflections on London’s continued financial relevance and the need for pragmatic UK-EU collaboration

We are grateful to Anthony Miller for sharing his valuable insights. Thank you to our Patron members for contributing to a rich discussion, and to the British Embassy Stockholm for our continued collaboration.
