The European Commission has today launched four new infringement procedures against the United Kingdom for not complying with significant parts of the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland. They come in addition to the infringement procedures launched on 15 June 2022.
Despite repeated calls by the European Parliament, the 27 EU Member States and the European Commission to implement the Protocol, the UK government has failed to do so.
In a spirit of constructive cooperation, the Commission refrained from launching certain...

On June 17, 2022, the United Kingdom (UK) government published its response to its consultation on reforms to the UK’s data protection laws. In effect, the response describes the extent to which the UK government intends to deviate from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in a post-Brexit world. In summary, rather than radical divergence from the GDPR, the proposals largely move the focus from process to outcomes. While the changes may not be radical, they inevitably add to...

Tensions rise as many believe legislation being prepared by Britain to unilaterally scrap parts of the Northern Ireland protocol will cause more problems than it solves.

The Bill proposes to the introduction of so-called “green” and “red” lanes for British goods destined for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland respectively. Under the proposal, only goods going through the red lane would have to undergo customs checks and paperwork upon entering Northern Irish ports.
A new dual regulatory system...

Notwithstanding the positive sounds emanating from Monday’s meeting between Liz Truss and Maros Sefcovic, the talks between the European Commission and the UK government over the Protocol on Northern Ireland are probably heading to a major crisis in the next month. There has been no movement of the UK side, and immovable deadlines are approaching.
The UK agreed to the Protocol as part of their Withdrawal Treaty...

Introduction
It is just over five and a half years since the Brexit referendum delivered a surprise 52/48 verdict in favour of the UK departing the European Union.
It has been a period of intense political upheaval in the UK resulting in the departure of two successive Prime Ministers and two general elections, all against the backdrop of fraught negotiations to agree with the EU a Withdrawal Agreement (WA), setting out the terms of the departure, and a new Trade and...

The Council has approved an agreement between the EU and the UK on fishing opportunities for 2022, paving the way for EU fishermen and women to exercise their fishing rights in the Atlantic and the North Sea.
The decision determines fishing rights for around 100 shared fish stocks in EU and UK waters, including the total allowable catch (TAC) limit for each species.
At the Agriculture and Fisheries Council on 12-13 December, ministers set provisional TACs for fish stocks shared with...

In this week’s Roar, we have the latest on the Port of Vancouver’s building ship queue, prolonged LA-LB congestion, 2022 labor talks, the FTC’s search for supply chain data, and Brexit’s impact on Ireland-Europe services.
You know things are bad for a port when it’s mentioned ahead of LA/ Long Beach in a story about congestion. The backup is relative, of course, but the Pacific Northwest ports have had their fair share of nature-caused challenges this year. Following a recent...
