Practice lead: Research & Development - Brexit
Partners
For the UK to leave the EU under the terms of the negotiated
'deal' - both Houses of British Parliament have to vote to
accept the Withdrawal Agreement. However, opposition is coming on
both practical and constitutional issues.
The European Union has progressed with the constitutional steps
needed for Brexit to happen, and arguably, it had a more
straightforward task. Once the negotiation process was complete,
the ratification process for the Withdrawal Agreement is
'relatively' uncontentious or complicated. Last week the
European Commission Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier stood in for
European President, Jean-Claude Juncker, in an address to members
of the European Parliament. He stressed the binary nature of the
choices now open to the UK.
