"The EEAS is very much a tool that hasn't reached maturity yet," said Rem Korteweg, an EU foreign policy expert at the Centre for European Reform think-tank. "Its general direction still needs to be mapped out: Is it a 28-member ministry of foreign affairs? Or is it an entity coordinating ministries of foreign affairs in the 28 countries?"

The Dutch financial paper, the Financieele Dagblad says: "The Netherlands votes with Britain more often than with Germany in the EU" and claims a Brexit would negatively affect the balance in the EU Parliament.

From jobs to travel and study: How will Brexit affect young Britons?
22 June 2016
The Guardian
Researchers at the Centre for European Reform CER note that if unemployment rises, it is the under 30s who would be most vulnerable. "Economists know a good deal about the impact of recessions on different social groups," Christian Odendahl and John Springford from the CER report. "They have also studied how recessions impact the future earnings of these groups after the economy returns to normal. And the verdict is clear. It is the young and the low-skilled who suffer the most."
The referendum in Doncaster, and Labour's disappearing trick
22 June 2016
Open democracy
Simon Tilford of the Centre for European Reform has condemned the leading Brexiteers as "libertarian sovereigntists who support further deregulation of the British economy. Their opposition to immigration is aimed at appealing to disenfranchised and insecure voters". This is right, but they are not appealing to their desire for security but a preference for more risk generated by fatalism and loss.

Comment Boris Johnson a inventé l'europhobie britannique

Le Temps
Boris Johnson ne croit pas au Brexit. Du moins, il y a quatre mois, juste avant d’annoncer officiellement qu’il défendrait une sortie du Royaume-Uni de l’Union Européenne, le principal homme politique du camp du Brexit n’y croyait pas. "Il l’a confié à un ami commun quelques jours avant son annonce", affirme Charles Grant, le très sérieux directeur du think tank Centre for European Reform.

Wielkiej Brytanii zdarza się być w mniejszości państw członkowskich, jeśli chodzi o podejmowanie decyzji w niektórych obszarach. Ale jej wyjście z instytucji unijnych wcale nie oznacza, że ten proces decyzyjny będzie bardziej spójny - zauważa w rozmowie z WP Agata Gostyńska, ekspert Centre for European Reform w Londynie.

Brexit? EU-saken er kommet på britenes dagsorden for å bli
22 June 2016
Aftenposten
Økonomen Simon Tilford ved Centre for European Reform, som jeg traff for noen uker siden, mente derimot at en ny folkeavstemning kunne komme kort tid etter et «Leave»-flertall nå: Hvis den påfølgende økonomiske og politiske krisen blir sterk nok, kan en ny regjering be EU om nåde – og så tillyse ny folkeavstemning. Ikke sannsynlig, mente Tilford, men fullt ut tenkbart.

In Brexit vote, echoes of Trumpism minus Donald Trump
21 June 2016
Reuters
Brexit supporters mirror Trump voters, said Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, a pro-EU think-tank based in London, in that they tend to be older, white, less affluent, and less likely to live in urban areas. Also, as Trump vows to "Make America Great Again," Brexit backers are wistful for a bygone age. "There is a feeling among some that they’re trying to get back to when Britain was white, when England was more secure," Grant said.

Brexit raises economic and security fears in Central and Eastern Europe
21 June 2016
World Politics Review
“Budapest and Warsaw, under the current leadership, share David Cameron’s vision for Europe,” says Agata Gostynska, a research fellow at the London-based Centre for European Reform, referring to the British prime minister. “They do not like the idea of ever closer union, do not intend to join the eurozone any time soon, and oppose any further leap into political integration. Were Britain to leave the EU, they would find it harder to spread this vision.”
