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

+ Brexit negotiations, September 2017
+ Start of Brexit negotiations, June 2017
+ 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 2016The European Council meeting on 20 October 2017 failed to produce the breakthrough needed for negotiations on the terms of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union to move to their second phase, in which issues such as future trade relations and possible transitional arrangements would be discussed. However, EU Heads of State or Government noted some progress in the negotiations on two of the topics from phase one, namely the rights of EU citizens within the UK and of UK citizens within the EU after Brexit, and how to deal with the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. The European Council also agreed that internal preparatory discussions for phase two could start.

This note offers links to recent commentaries and reports published by major international think tanks and other organisations on EU-UK negotiations and on the implications of Brexit more widely. More studies on these issues can be found in previous editions of ‘What Think Tanks are thinking’ (see below).
