The Bruges Group

The Bruges Group is a UK-based think tank founded in 1989 that advocates for a closer relationship between the UK and the European Union, emphasizing the importance of EEC/EU economic and political integration. It primarily promotes Eurosceptic views, arguing for policies that prioritize national sovereignty, reduced EU influence, and free-market principles. The organization influences public debate and policymakers by providing research, analysis, and commentary on UK-EU relations, often supporting Brexit efforts and emphasizing the benefits of independent governance outside of the EU framework.
