He also ruled out a Youth Mobility Scheme, which Germany would like to see implemented for the entire EU and for Great Britain. “We have no plans for a Youth Mobility Scheme, but we do have plans for a closer relationship,” said Starmer. His position has not changed since his election in early July, the Prime Minister stressed, referring to claims by the conservative opposition in Great Britain that he wants to lead the country back into the EU through the back door.
Chancellor Scholz (SPD) emphasized the good relations between Great Britain and the EU. The people of the United Kingdom made a historic decision in 2016, but they remain close friends and want to further strengthen all aspects of the relationship.
In this sense, Starmer and Scholz have announced a cooperation agreement between their two countries, which is to be concluded by the end of the year. This will also include areas such as trade and defense, Starmer said on Wednesday after his meeting with Scholz in the Chancellery in Berlin. Both governments also want to reach an agreement on migration issues in order to be able to better combat irregular migration. This will also involve increased data exchange.
Starmer said that such a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Germany had never existed before. Scholz announced that German-British government consultations would take place soon.
