The UK's application to participate in relevant EU committees has sparked disagreements, and the reconstruction of UK EU relations faces multiple agreement challenges

After Brexit, the UK requested to join committees related to agriculture and food standards, carbon markets, and electricity markets. The European Commission stated that under current bilateral arrangements, the UK has no right to participate, but may consider allowing UK officials to attend some expert level meetings and express their opinions. The two sides have not yet finalized relevant agreements in areas such as defense procurement and study abroad programs.
