Boris Johnson Gets Short Shrift from European Union Leaders in Brexit Talks

After meeting Johnson, his host, Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, was forced to address the press alone next to an empty podium—as Johnson had crept out the back door to avoid noisy protesters. Speaking to the Mail on Sunday in advance of his trip, Johnson had sought to present a tough-guy image, ridiculously evoking the Marvel superhero, the Incredible Hulk. He told the paper that if Brexit negotiations broke down, he would ignore the Commons vote ordering him to delay the UK’s exit from the EU on October 31. Like the Hulk, Britain www.afgazad.com 1 [email protected] would break out of the “manacles” of the EU, adding, “The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets.” The European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt dubbed his comment “infantile,” asking, “Is the EU supposed to be scared by this?” with an EU diplomat saying Johnson less resembled the green giant than “Rumpelstiltskin,” who loses his power when his true name is revealed. -
The New Irish Protocol Could Lead to the Indefinite Jurisdiction of the EU Court of Justice Within the UK Dr Oliver Garner
The new Irish Protocol could lead to the indefinite jurisdiction of the EU Court of Justice within the UK Dr Oliver Garner The United Kingdom will hold a General Election on 12 December 2019. The result may determine whether Boris Johnson's renegotiated Withdrawal Agreement that removed the Irish backstop comes into force. One issue that has not been as prominent in the debate is that the new Irish Protocol could lead to the indefinite jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union within the United Kingdom. The new Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland in the Withdrawal Agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union differs from the previous 'Irish backstop' in both content and function. The recasting of functions confirms the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) as the legal default following a transition period. The new content means that this jurisdiction would apply to UK authorities acting on UK territory. The creation of a new legal test for when EU law will apply in and to the UK in relation to the movement of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland means there may be a higher likelihood of this jurisdiction being required. The changes in content and function In terms of content, the new Protocol no longer mandates a single customs territory between the Union and the United Kingdom. Article 4 instead states that Northern Ireland is part of the customs territory of the United Kingdom. Border checks on the island of Ireland are prevented through a new legal test. -
Deficiencies and Omissions in the Brexit Agreement the European Union's Shared Responsibility at the Failure of the UK Withdrawal Negotiations 1
7 / 2019 & Sabine Riedel Deficiencies and Omissions in the Brexit Agreement The European Union's Shared Responsibility at the Failure of the UK Withdrawal Negotiations 1 With the election of Boris Johnson as Chairman of the British Conservatives and his appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, a narrative has emerged in the German media that discred- its his person and thus severely strains future relations. They call him a "swindler", "monster" and "political seducer" who came to power through anti-European positions and populism. The message behind it tells us that he has nothing serious to offer the European Union, so further negotiations on the Brexit Treaty would be out of the question. The disreputation of political personalities, however, is a rhetorical stylistic device and not an objective analysis of the interests at stake in the back- ground. Could it be that not only British, but also "pro-European" forces benefit from the Brexit? Anyone who pursues this question will quickly find what they are looking for. Their motives and goals should be disclosed and discussed, because only such transparency creates room for a with- drawal agreement that satisfies both sides. Those who oppose this expose the EU member states to conflicts that cannot only escalate violently in Northern Ireland. Europe has had more than enough of this in its recent history. A "hard Brexit" is today understood as a "No-Deal dure. Since then, this scenario has been called Brexit", i.e. an EU withdrawal of the United King- "hard Brexit" (SZ, 23.8.2018). This new interpre- dom (UK) without a treaty.
