This International Conference, always a major newsworthy event in the
EU-sceptic calendar, was intended to further push forward the boundaries of
debate regarding the European Union. It did not disappoint. The Conference not
only criticised the push towards further integration but most importantly it
promoted the positive alternatives, for Britain and the nation-states of
Europe, to membership of the European Union. To this end the Bruges Group
gathered together in London many influential and internationally renowned
figures to discuss the positive, dynamic alternatives to the status quo, which
are on offer. The conclusions of this event left everyone convinced that a
free trade alternative model for Europe and the North Atlantic should be
vigorously pursued.
