It’s been four years since the UK left the European Union – but our lobbying work hasn’t stopped to make working in the EU easier for members.

With a general election coming this year, it’s more important than ever.

But to keep lobbying, we need up to date statistics and member experiences. That’s why we’re asking you to take our latest Brexit survey.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. If you have questions or need any additional support, please contact eutouring@themu.org.

The survey closes on Friday 24 May.

Thanks to all those who’ve taken the survey so far!
