The EU parliament ends its blockade and will let the EU-UK Brexit treaty pass although it accuses London of violating the clauses regarding NI.
Time is running out, end of April the preliminary use of the treaty would end, and without ratification the agreement would be nill and void and lead to a hard Brexit.

Scottish independence?

"In the year 1707 "It looked like a sensible financial decision" to do trade with England
"Some Scottish looked south to the border and thought that they would be good to have a relationship with this much more powerful richer nation with its bigger market"

"‘The uncomfortable chair’: Australians shocked by insulting British trade tactics"

The European Parliament is expected to ratify the post-Brexit EU-UK trade deal - a key move to ensure that tariff- and quota-free trade continues.

The Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TCA) has been operating provisionally since January. MEPs are expected to vote for it after 20:00 (18:00 GMT).

Brexit tensions remain, including a French threat of "reprisals" against the UK over new fishing restrictions.

Northern Ireland trade is also a thorny issue.

Under a separate protocol, Northern Ireland remains de facto part of the EU's single market, so goods arriving there from Britain have to undergo EU checks. Since Brexit there has been some disruption to that trade.

The TCA covers EU-UK trade in goods, but not services. The UK economy is dominated by services - sectors such as banking, insurance, advertising and legal advice.

The NI issue is unsolved.


The Brexit deal becoming fully implemented means the EU can fire hard volleys agaun st the EU if it violates "level playing field" rules, namely that it has to not dumb its tax niveau.



I still think there should not have been any deal/treaty at all, form the UK's POV. If Johnson vilates the treaty now like he violates the NI protocol, the UK can be sued before international courts. It must not comply with there verdicts against it, but if it does, other contract partners across the globe will take note of it, and reconsider their relations with the UK, at least regarding future treaties to be signed.

Violating treaties from now on comes at a price.

Well it is only 500 out of hundred thousands of expatriots umm immigrants (lol) who are deported, but the irony is strong.. they would only have had to fill out the paperwork, but it seems they were a bit uninformed or maybe arrogant to believe the very brexit rules they voted for did not apply for them.
