Halas, I still wonder how someone as incompetent was elevated.. 

 

Yeah sorry. 

 

And this is just the beginning : this is not going to get any better with Frosty and Johnson at the helm. This is the repeat of pre-brexit laments, like a broken record. 

 

.........

 

. 

Re the first point - I'll reiterate my tweet from 4 years ago 

 

 

We can change the personalities delivering Brexit as many times as we want, we are never ever going to get any Brexit that delivers what was promised.

 

This is simply because what the politicians who advocated Brexit promised was impossible to deliver in any real world situation.

 

They made assumptions that politicians in other countries would betray their constituents  and make concessions that would put themselves at an economic disadvantage. And how long would the EU last if they had given the UK all the benefits of membership without contributing or being bound by EU laws?   

[Hi from France]

Indeed! 

 

Anyway Frosty wasted no time, he's already started to violate the deal 

Quote

 

The new Cabinet minister has wasted no time in testing both the Protocol, and the patience of his EU interlocutors, to the limits with what amounts to a hand grenade thrown into the ongoing talks over the implementation of the treaty

 

Quote

The announcement that the UK would unilaterally extend grace periods in the treaty to protect supermarkets infuriated Brussels.

 

Now the UK prepares to violates the deal 

Quote

EU officials were quick to point out that the UK was not legally able to extend temporary relaxations for supermarkets to ensure continued supplies from Great Britain.

The question is what will the EU do next.. 

 

I hope the EU will delay the equivalence negotiations for financial services which were scheduled in March,

 

For a start

I will say, though, that it is a typical Brexiteer tactic to criticise those who produce links to facts which support their argument; facts are often lacking in Brexiteer posts.

It was Frost who negotiated the Brexit Deal.

But Boris Johnson signed it.

If they did not realise the impact it would have on Northern Ireland, then they should be sacked for incompetence.

If they did realise, then they should not have made the deal. And now they should be sacked betraying the people of NI.

If I get it right, the UK is violating again the withdrawal agreement, but the Brexit trade deal has not been ratified by the EU parliament? 

 

Yep

Quote

The MEP Bernd Lange, the chair of the parliament’s trade committee, tweeted an excerpt of a previous parliamentary resolution in a sign of the anger at the UK’s move.

 

“Still valid: ‘Should the UK authorities breach – or threaten to breach – the Withdrawal Agreement, through the United Kingdom Internal Market Bill... or in any other way, the European Parliament will, under no circumstances, ratify any agreement between the EU and the UK,’” he wrote.

 

So last year we thought there was a deal, but we are in fact heading for a no-deal again 

 

 

Really, it's a pity Frost and Johnson choose to violate the agreement without even trying to use the built-in conciliatory system first, without even warning first. Gove at least was discussing, now it's getting worse and worse.

Mairead McGuinness, the EU financial services commissioner, said it was important to “send a message” to Britain about Brexit, as the fall-out from yesterday’s announcement that Britain would delay grace periods on checks on GB food imports to Northern Ireland continued. 

 

Simon Coveney, Ireland’s foreign minister, said the EU was negotiating with a “frustrating” partner “it simply couldn’t trust” 

This is not news, once again the UK signature is proven worthless 

 

 

Quote

 

Christophe Hansen, a lead MEP on Brexit and the trade deal, tweeted, “if this is David Frost’s idea of showing that he is back to his old games, he should be mindful of the fact that the European Parliament has not ratified the [trade deal] yet.”

 

That would be a nuclear option because it would force a damaging no deal Brexit, which would also hurt European businesses.

EU postpones setting date for ratifying Brexit trade deal
Move follows Boris Johnson being accused of breaking international law for second time over Northern Ireland

Daniel Boffey in Brussels and Rory Carroll
Thu 4 Mar 2021 12.40 GMT

 

The European parliament has postponed setting a date for ratifying the trade and security deal with Britain after Boris Johnson was accused of breaking international law for a second time over Northern Ireland.

 

The chamber’s political groups agreed on Thursday to wait in light of the latest row with Downing Street, with some senior MEPs warning that the Christmas Eve deal will not be passed at all if the UK goes ahead with its plans.

 

The UK was accused by the European commission of breaking international law for a second time on Wednesday after ministers said they would unilaterally extend a grace period on a range of checks on trade between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. The commission responded that under the Brexit withdrawal agreement, the decision should have been agreed with the EU.

Brexit continues amaze me - the number of people in senior positions who don't seem to understand what we have just done  and why it has all too foreseeable consequences that nobody did, in fact, foresee.

 

Another case, British hauliers of abnormal loads have had their roaming permits canceled and now must apply for a permit each time they travel for a specific route and date. This takes several weeks to obtain and put them at a disadvantage.

EU blocks shipment of 250,000 Oxford vaccines to Australia after Italy makes plea
ITALY has activated the European Union's vaccine export ban to block a shipment of life-saving jabs being sent to Australia.

By JOE BARNES, BRUSSELS CORRESPONDENT
PUBLISHED: 14:56, Thu, Mar 4, 2021 | UPDATED: 15:34, Thu, Mar 4, 2021

 

Rome triggered the mechanism to stop 250,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from being sent outside the bloc. It notified the European Commission who signed off on blockade as part of its vaccine export transparency scheme. Brussels is currently engaged in a furious battle with the Anglo-Swedish firm after it delayed a shipment of doses to EU member states.

Under the scheme, EU-based vaccine makers must secure approval from national health authorities before shipping their jabs abroad.

 

At a virtual summit of the bloc’s leaders, Italian prime minister Mario Draghi last week questioned why the bloc had not deployed its draconian powers.

That was expected. The EU made a prepayment of 336 million euro in August 2020, which has been invested by AZ in its production facilities, just to be told the order could not be delivered.

That's the least we can do 

 

Now what is intriguing is that the last meetings went well and there was confidence that agreement on an extension would be found

 

Three quotes :

Quote

At the very last meeting of the joint EU-UK committee looking at all these issues, the British side had come away confident that agreement on an extension of grace periods would be found. The EU, led by the European commission’s vice-president, Maroš Šefčovič, had made a few demands. They wanted to know more about the UK’s long-term plan with respect to supermarkets and their suppliers and were seeking additional investment in digital solutions for traders. 

 

 

So it looks like Frost is very purposefully making sure everyone around is p*ssed. The commission, Ireland, the European Parliament, the USA... 

Quote

Being taken to court for failing to live up to the obligations of an international treaty is not necessarily the greatest advert for global Britain as it seeks trade deals around the world, including with the US, where the president, Joe Biden, has in the past made public his interest in what happens in Northern Ireland.

 

 

The likely explanation is that Frost is taking things in hand for his own personal advantage 

Quote

Frost then may not have had to convince the EU of his pugnacious character, but perhaps he did need to remind the prime minister of his value to him? If so, we shall have to see at what cost. But as the trade and security talks showed, he is happy to push matters to the edge.

So although there will be wide - ranging consequences, we're talking internal cabinet politics in Britain national - populist government

Speaking in The Hague, Mr Breton gloated: "Everything has stayed in the EU."

He said the vaccine producers must first "deliver what was promised" to EU member states. He added he was "impressed" with the yield from the Dutch producer, which can make between 5 million and 6 million doses a month, with "a significant part" for the EU.

In January, the EU introduced export controls on vaccine exports after it accused AstraZeneca of cutting supplies intended for member states.
