Possible questions
- In an ideal world, what is your vision of the "closest possible cooperation" on security cooperation between the UK and the EU27 post-Brexit?
- Do you think that it will be possible for the UK to continue to have access in some way to the EU's structures for police and judicial cooperation, for example Europol?
- Are there any existing models, either within the EU or elsewhere, for a future UK-EU security relationship?
- Will the UK lose the influence that it wields in security cooperation, once it is no longer part of the EU?
