MEP Lange: 'Switzerland plus' deal possible for UK if it moves closer to the EU
Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament's international trade committee, said in London that the EU's 'doors are open' for Britain and that a 'Switzerland plus' model — a package of agreements on trade, security, raw materials and digital policy — could serve as a template. His comments came amid a renewed Brexit debate: Prime Minister Andy Burnham called for a rethink of relations with Brussels, while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticises him. A UK–EU summit is scheduled for 20 November.
