EU withdrawal agreement Brexit bill to legal action with a view to filing a lawsuit with the judiciary October 1, 21:10
The EU is legal with a view to filing a lawsuit in the judiciary after the British government has submitted a bill to Parliament and passed it in the House of Representatives, which dismisses the agreement agreed upon when leaving the EU. Announced that it will embark on measures.
The British government signed an agreement with the EU on Northern Ireland on the occasion of Brexit in January, but in September it submitted a bill to Parliament that included content to dismiss it.
The EU strongly opposed "violation of international law" and demanded that the violating part of the bill be withdrawn by the end of September, but the UK did not respond and was passed by the House of Representatives on the 29th. It was.
In response, EU Chairman Von der Leyen said on the 1st that "the bill is completely inconsistent with the arrangement," and will take legal action with a view to filing a lawsuit with the EU Court of Justice. Was announced.
The EU has officially notified the UK government and demanded that it respond within a month on the government's position and future actions, and will proceed further if no sufficient response is obtained.
The EU and the UK are in the final round of negotiations this week over post-withdrawal relations such as free trade agreements, but the deepening gap between the two is expected to make negotiations even more difficult.
In the EU, we will discuss how to deal with the United Kingdom at the summit meeting from the 1st.
