Between 2010 and 2015 Dr. Caro was the Coordinator for European Policy in the headquarters of the KAS in Berlin. In this context\, Dr. Caro coordinated publications and organized conferences on current issues regarding the future of the European integration and Germany’s EU policy.

Yet\, both sides are still working on a withdrawal agreement as well as a framework for their future relationship. Border and trade issues are among the biggest points of contention. The lack of consensus in the U.K. regarding the best Brexit strategy further complicates tense negotiations between London and the 27 other EU member states. The outcome of this process will be of crucial importance for the future of the EU and the transatlantic partnership. With its political and economic weight\, Germany remains a key player in the current discussions among Western allies. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
