Start of Brexit negotiations [What Think Tanks are thinking]

Further information
There have been earlier EPRS compilations of think tank reports on Brexit which can be accessed here:

+ Brexit negotiations, April 2017
+ Latest thinking on Brexit, February 2017
+ Brexit: Implications and outlook, October 2016
+ Brexit and the future of the European Union, July 2016
+ Brexit: What next for Britain and Europe?, July 2016
+ The United Kingdom And The European Union , February 2016Formal negotiations on the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union under Article 50 TEU got under way on 19 June 2017, as both sides agreed in principle how to organise the talks and underlined their mutual goodwill.

The talks began nearly a year after the UK referendum (on 23 June 2016) resulted in the vote to leave the EU, and less than two weeks after a general election that left the ruling Conservative Party without a majority in the House of Commons.

This note offers links to recent commentaries and reports published by major international think tanks on the UK’s plans to leave the EU and the wider implications of Brexit.
