Copied from a FB group:

“ In follow up of yesterday's news about the new German and British Friendship and Co-Operation Agreement, which some have criticised being rather general, it is important to note that it is intended to be a long-lasting treaty that provide a stable future oriented framework also through future changes of government in the UK and Germany. Crucially, there are also 17 specific priority projects which will be initiated between the governments. These are listed in the following and will be reviewed every two years by a joint cabinet. Projects 7, 8, 9, and 16 are of particular interest and relevance on a civil society level.”
