The UK’s review into the Balance of Competences might lead to significant change in the UK and across the EU

In July, the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office launched a review of the balance of competences in the EU. It aims to review the EU’s powers and what they mean for the UK. David Seymour argues that the review should not be dismissed as a pointless exercise, as it has the potential to make the benefits of the UK’s EU membership clearer, and to identify what reforms are needed to improve the way that the EU is run.
