Britain waives the Rules - Reneging on the WA?

[fillyboy]

If you believe you know where the EU is in breach of the WA then feel free to show us where!

You won't of course, because you can't!

"to use their best endeavours, in good faith and in full respect of their respective legal orders, to take the necessary steps to negotiate expeditiously the agreements governing their future relationship"

Plus they've re-written the PD by making fishing and state aid pre-conditions to discussion of anything else, and how do we discuss fishing when they refuse to disclose zonal attachment and catch data, obviously they're worried we'll see something they don't want us to.

In short, they're crooks and gangsters. Thank God we've found someone prepared to stand up to them otherwise we'd end up in the gutter, which of course would delight you and your woke chums.

No deal, no WA, WTO rules, bring it on.

 

[JohnD]

Boris and his acolytes have no compunction in breaking the law.

In short, they're crooks and gangsters.

Found any new routes yet Notch.

Brittany ferries have introduced a new Rosslare to Cherbourg route

Grimaldi lines are in talks to start a new, possibly year-round freight and passenger service between Cork and the port of Vigo in Northern Spain

Brittany Ferries has started its new sailing from Rosslare to Roscoff in France every Monday evening. The ferry company has been sailing twice a week from Rosslare Europort to Bilbao in Spain since arriving to the South-east port in February, but has now added a third weekly sailing to Roscoff.

The additional sailing and destination will complement the existing services out of Rosslare, where there are three round trips to Cherbourg, and two round trips to Bilbao per week, to further boost freight and travel to mainland Europe. Rosslare Europort now has a direct sailing from Ireland to main land Europe six days a weekend



Direct ferries from Ireland to mainland Europe offer a great alternative to UK landbridge routes, which are now available from Irish Ferries, Cobelfret (CLdN), Brittany Ferries and Stena Line.

Have you considered taking the direct ferry from Dublin to Rotterdam or Dublin to Zeebrugge instead of the Dover to Calais landbridge? There is far less traffic on these routes and it can prove to be much less hectic.

To be fair Stena have added a new ferry for the Liverpool to Belfast route....however that ferry was ordered before 2016 and ferries have very long lifecycles....business plans look as far ahead as 2050.

It matters not which way you care to spin it...

The EU are being totally consistent and an out of depth borisconi hasn't got a clue...

UK PLC is 'up the swanee', no matter what happens!

Wrong

The EU have not re-written the PD.
The PD does not set the sequencing of talks, your mate Boris agreed to the order of talks at the beginning.

re state aid: If the UK want tariff free access to the Single Market, it has to play by the rule.......youve been told this for 4 years, why arent you getting it?

Back in January, the EU said: the UK havent allowed enough time to do a line by line tariff negotiation so there will have to be a blanket LPF with state aid.

zonal attachment and catch data, obviously they're worried we'll see something they don't want us to

Wrong

the EU simply dont trust Johnson and his bunch of liars, so there is no way they will agree to an annual zonal attachment.

In short, they're crooks and gangsters.

who recently awarded PPE contract to their mates?
who recently voted to keep any US deal secret for 5 years
who recently has stated they will try and ignore an international treaty.

typical brexiteer.....totally blind to reality.

 

[Notch7]

Thank God we've found someone prepared to stand up to them

you mean Boris that caved in last year and agreed to a surrender deal that puts a customs border inside the United Kingdom

 

[fillyboy]

Wrong

The EU have not re-written the PD.
The PD does not set the sequencing of talks, your mate Boris agreed to the order of talks at the beginning.

Ah, so we ratified a new fisheries agreement back in July then.
Paragraph 74 mate, crooks and gangsters.

https://capx.co/the-uk-has-every-reason-not-to-rely-on-brussels-good-faith/

But as we are looking at the good faith of the EU as it is today, let’s not forget that under the terms of the Political Declaration, under Paragraph 74 the EU was meant to use its “best endeavours” to conclude and ratify a new fisheries agreement by 1 July 2020. The requirement was also included in Withdrawal Agreement clause 184 – “best endeavours, in good faith” to “negotiate expeditiously the agreements”. Barnier has signally failed to do so, seeking to tie fisheries back in with other areas of negotiation. As such he quite clearly has not been negotiating honestly; so why should the UK trust him and his Commission peers now?

Any Safeguards Clauses that ends up before Parliament will have been included for a good reason. They are both an insurance, and a deterrent. And you can forget the bluster from Brussels or its apologists – the Commission knows full well why.

Ryler says: "I voted to be poorer and I find it hysterical" <titter>

Says the bloke who voted to leave.

 

[Notch7]

, under Paragraph 74 the EU was meant to use its “best endeavours”

that is a distortion, not surprising as you are quoting from a brexit misinformation site.

Para 74 actually says: "The Parties will use their best endeavours to conclude and ratify their new fisheries agreement....."

and the UK have not been using their nest endeavours, they havent been negotiating at all, just running down the clock.








Capx is the centre for policy studies: yet another part of the libertarian, free marketeer, climate change denier network

Although the Centre claims to be non-partisan, historically it has been closely linked to the Conservative Party, with a strong influence on British politics since it was founded.

In 2014, the Centre for Policy Studies launched CapX, a news site designed to promote “popular capitalism” and “defend free markets.” Its editor-in-chief is Robert Colvile, director of the CPS and previously Head of Comment at the Daily and Sunday Telegraph.

The CPS is chaired by businessman and Conservative donor Michael Spencer, recently appointed to the House of Lords. Its deputy chairman is Sir Graham Brady, also chairman of the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservative MPs.

Other board members include Lord Bamford, the Brexit-supporting chairman of the construction giant JCB and a past backer of the TaxPayers' Alliance; the historian Niall Ferguson; Fraser Nelson, editor of the Spectator magazine; and Lord Strathclyde, leader of the House of Lords under David Cameron.

Until January 2020, the CPS was chaired by Lord Saatchi, co-founder of the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising company and former chairman of the Conservative Party.

Tom Clougherty, the CPS's Head of Tax, was previously executive director of the Adam Smith Institute, another free-market think tank, before moving to the US to become managing editor at the Reason Foundation, a libertarian group that has frequently downplayed the threat of climate change, as well as senior editor at the Koch-funded Cato Institute. Callum Price, Head of External Relations, has previously worked at the TaxPayers' Alliance and the Institute of Economic Affairs.

Nick King, the CPS's Head of Business, was lead policy adviser to former Chancellor Sajid Javid from 2012-2017, and Liam Vernon, the group's Digital Communications Officer was previously Deputy Editor at the BrexitCentral news site.

The CPS has regularly published work by climate science denier and anti-renewables advocate Rupert Darwall, who was previously listed as a Research Fellow on the organisation's website and has written for the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

"Government admits Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans break international law"

Stretching it a bit.

The NI Secretary said it would go against the treaty in a "specific and limited way", but that the legislation was designed to be a safety net, in case the trade negotiations fail.

The Northern Ireland secretary, Brandon Lewis, astonished backbenchers when he told the House of Commons: “Yes, this does break international law in a very specific and limited way. We’re taking the powers to disapply the EU law concept of direct effect … in a certain very tightly defined circumstance.”

Where do you get your ******** from? It has been clearly agreed that it would be breaking international law. Which is illegal under our laws.

 

[noseall]

Boris = untrustworthy laughing stock.

 

[Notch7]

I didnt stay stupid though, unlike you.

I informed myself as more and more lies became public

you fell for the hogwash of Buffoon, Rees Mogg and the other liars

 

[Notch7]

Brandon Lewis...say no more

he could be triplets with Mark Francois and Andrew Bridgen....all 2nd car salesmen.
