Brexit fury as EU judges' orders to be enforceable in UK

[malvolio]

I believe the text in the trade agreement.



As the trade agreement says, decisions by the European Commission will be enforceable in the UK.

but it also says "stemming from the Union", which our stuff doesn't. It also says "other than states", so it applies only to organisations and individuals. IT also doesn't say "enforceable", implying that the decisions may be binding but they can't do much about it other than refusing that particular piece of business.

I also suspect you will find the same wording in their existing trade agreements with states other than the UK.

Or do you really seriously believe that our team failed to discuss the matter of mutuality and penalties, thinking perhaps that there is no place for such debate in formulating and agreeing an overarching trade agreement?

As I said earlier - you choose your own viewpoint if it makes you happy. As will I.

I am not sure this would be suprising.

It was interesting though to see Boris do a U turn on the internal market bill after the EU read him the riot act.

A sign of things to come that the UK can't simply do what it likes.

UK MUST follow EU rules! Leo Varadkar says Brussels has power to BLOCK Britain from market

The more you look into it the more it appears like "Associate Membership"

Expert on Talk Radio just confirmed if the UK opts in to any of the EU programmes outlined in the deal then the ECJ comes back into play. That is to be negotiated in the coming weeks, months etc. The deal just states that's what happens if the UK opts in.

...and if the UK strays from the straight and narrow the EU will be down on them like a ton of bricks. So sayeth the trade deal.

Whatever, I'm looking forward to see the implementation of it in the coming months.

If it all goes smoothly there will barely be a ripple in the press and everyone will have a great time in the pub discussing their new found sovereignty.
