Abstract

The paper considers the issues and legal aspects of building relationships between the European Union and the UK. The current difficult situation between the European Union and Britain cannot be under the radar. On June 19, 2018, Brussels saw the start of negotiations on the secession of the UK from the European Union. This process is called Brexit. Before the EU reformed the Lisbon Treaty, the possibility of withdrawing from the organization was not specified. However, there are several cases when the territories left the EU (which changed their political and administrative status within the country of the organization). For example, Greenland, which in 1979 became an autonomous constituent country of the Kingdom of Denmark, left the EEC (European Economic Community, predecessor of the EU) in 1985. In 2007, an island in the Caribbean, Saint-Barthelemy, left the Union. At first, it was part of the French overseas department of Guadeloupe, but then separated from it and received the status of an overseas community (a special territorial unit of France). Each time the exit process was discussed individually. At present, Greenland and Saint-Barthelemy are on the list of Special Territories of the Member States of the European Union (more than 20 territories in total).
