The EU Council's Working Party on the United Kingdom is scheduled to meet on 10 July 2026 at 09:30 in the Justus Lipsius Building in Brussels, according to a notice of meeting and provisional agenda published on 7 July 2026. The meeting, held in a 1+1 format with interpretation, will feature two Commission updates on ongoing negotiations with the UK.
The Commission will first provide an update on negotiations for an agreement on the UK's regular financial contribution towards reducing economic, social and territorial disparities in the Union, as outlined in document WK 6339/26 REV 1. This track addresses the UK's post-Brexit financial commitments to EU cohesion policy.
Second, the Commission will update on negotiations for an agreement on the UK's participation in the internal electricity market, per document WK 6338/26 REV 1. This follows broader EU-UK energy cooperation efforts, though no prior coverage of this specific file exists in recent months.
The agenda also includes any other business (AOB). Council documents are available on the Delegates Portal, with room attendants providing copies on request. The meeting is a preparatory step for the Council's ongoing work on UK relations, with no immediate decisions expected.
