The European Commission has today recommended the European Council (Article 50) to endorse the agreement reached at negotiator level on the Withdrawal Agreement, including a revised Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland, and approve a revised Political Declaration on the framework of the future EU-UK relationship. The Commission also recommends that the European Parliament give its consent to this agreement. This follows a series of intensive negotiations between the European Commission and UK negotiators over the past few days.

"Check against delivery"
Mesdames et Messieurs,
Aujourd'hui, nous avons trouvé un accord avec le gouvernement britannique sur le retrait ordonné du Royaume-Uni et le cadre de notre future relation.
C'est le résultat d'un travail intensif des deux équipes de négociateurs, l'équipe britannique et notre propre équipe, que je veux personnellement remercier pour leur ténacité et leur professionnalisme, mais aussi, du côté européen, d'un dialogue permanent avec les 27 Etats membres et le Parlement européen, avec qui nous avons réellement co-construit ce nouvel accord.
Cet accord est agréé au...

"Check against delivery"
Good to see you and good to see the Prime Minister, my friend Boris Johnson.
We have a deal. And this deal means that there is no need for any kind of prolongation.
This is a fair and balanced agreement. It is testament to our commitment to finding solutions.
It provides certainty where Brexit creates uncertainty. It protects the rights of our citizens and it protects peace and stability on the island of Ireland. There will be no border on...

On Wednesday 02 October 2019, Prime Minister Johnson sent proposals to the EU on the future border regime in Ireland. These proposals initially continue to require the UK to leave the EU on 31 October 2019, with the result that customs controls would be reintroduced at the Irish border.
However, these would not be physically carried out at or near the border, but would be carried out locally at traders' premises...

A path to progress?
With one week to go before the crucial European Council summit on 17th October, there is still no clear agreement between the UK and EU on a way forward.
On Thursday, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar met in Cheshire for what many saw as a last-ditch attempt to break the impasse in the Brexit talks. While officials on both sides had played down the chances of any breakthrough, the...

There is, at last, some movement in the Brexit negotiation.
On the UK side, Boris Johnson previously insisted on the Irish backstop being scrapped. Now he is making proposals (unacceptable so far to the EU) to rewrite it.
On the EU side, there is a movement too.
The present Agreement contains a backstop to cover the whole UK. Now the EU is apparently willing to contemplate a backstop confined to Northern Ireland (NI) alone. This...

Brexit: UK’s new proposals greeted with dismay by EU leaders
On Wednesday UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson set out in a letter to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker his plans to resolve the issue of the Irish backstop.
While Juncker stated that there were some ‘positive advances’ in the UK’s new plan, the proposal, presented by UK Chief Brexit negotiator David Frost, would mean physical infrastructure close to the border. However, Michel Barnier later stated that it would...

It has been more than two years since Theresa May formally announced the UK’s scheduled withdrawal from the EU. As the event looms ever closer, there is no certainty as to whether or not the UK’s departure from the EU will be accompanied by a successfully-agreed withdrawal agreement – or even, when it will happen.
We take a look at some of the most pressing data protection...
