The European Union (EU or Union) has the ambition to be an important actor in the global order. Pursuant to Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), it is set to "work for a high degree of cooperation in all fields of international relations" and "promote an international system based on stronger multilateral cooperation and good global governance." More specifically, as TEU Article 3(5) stipulates, "[i]n its relations with the wider world," the EU is tasked to "contribute to peace, security, the sustainable development of the Earth, solidarity and mutual respect among peoples, free and fair trade, eradication of poverty and the protection of human rights, in particular the rights of the child, as well as to the strict observance and the development of international law, including respect for the principles of the United Nations Charter."

In the absence of agreed institutional arrangements for the post-Brexit EU-UK relationship the present contribution explores whether guidance can be found for the institutional dimension of their future relationship in a number of other documents and principles. We will, first of all, examine the institutional framework laid down in the 'Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, done at Brussels and London on 24 January 2020', and its implementation. Second, we will uncover some aspects of the future institutional relationship based on the 'Political Declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom' of 17 October 2019, which was adopted by the EU and the UK in parallel with the Withdrawal Agreement. Third, we will explore how the Commission sees that relationship based on its March 2020 draft text. Fourth, we will discuss at a meta level the principles which will in any event govern the institutional side of the future relationship, in particular the principle of good faith. Some brief concluding remarks round up.
