Our final panel of the day is underway on #RetainedEULaw, investigating what it means, what its key provisions are, and how it might impact British law if it goes forward.

With @GeorgePeretzKC, @RuthFox01, @Zahra_AlRikabi, @JMPSimor, and Professor Alison Young

"Ministers have been given powers to replace #EUlaw - these powers are frankly astonishing. EU law goes through a #democraticprocess.

"The Bill hands ministers power to replace this law without any democratic process"

@JMPSimor, @matrixchambers on the deeply flawed #REULBill
"The ability to preserve supremacy in Clause 9(1) of the #REULBill is proof that nobody knows what repealing supremacy will do"

@GeorgePeretzKC, @moncktonlaw on the lack of work done by the #Government on the potential impacts of the #REULBill

For EU #Sportslaw geeks, here is my short thread on the Opinion of AG @maciejszpunar and why its most important bit is not in the press release.

#EULaw #UEFA #HomegrownRule #Article165 #FreeMovement #Superleague

👇👇👇
First an element of context, AG Szpunar is not any AG at the Court, but the 'First Advocate General'. His Opinion comes after the much noted and commented Opinion of AG Rantos in the #Superleague case.
The (most) interesting bit of his Opinion in my view relates to the interpretation of Article 165 TFEU and its relationship to the European Sports Model. (See paras 48-55).

Over the year we will be tweeting a thread for each of the Court's 70 years of existence. Today: #2021 #CJEUin70Days Image
#2021: The Court reaffirmed that the employer's need to present themselves to customers in a neutral manner or to prevent social conflicts may justify the prohibition on visibly wearing political, philosophical or religious symbols at work. (C-804/18, C-341/19)
#2021: The #EUGeneralCourt confirmed the fine of €2.42 billion: #Google abused its dominant position by favouring its own product comparator over competing product comparators (Google and Alphabet v Commission, T-612/17)

I read AG Rantos' #SuperLeague Opinion (available at curia.europa.eu/juris/document…) for you and here are my main takeaways 🧵🧵🧵

#Sportslaw #EUlaw #BosmanDay #FIFA #UEFA
It opens with some drama, "the very existence of the organisational structure of the modern game" and "the the future of European football" are at play. (§2)
The first really interesting part of the Opinion concerns the AG's assessment of the relevance of Article 165 TFEU and the European Sports Model in the case (§§27-42).

The @EU_Commission presented its latest assessment about the #Hungarian Potemkin #AntiCorruption package on November 30. #Germany, #France & #Italy asking the #Commission a couple of days later to do the same again is a slap in the face of the Commission, @Europarl_EN

the German @Bundestag, which asked the #Bundesregierung to take a hard stance in this matter, and the #RuleOfLaw in general.

Escalating the issue to the #EUCO is also a wrong move.
The decision under the #ConditionalityRegulation about the suspension of EUR 7.5bn #CohesionFunds & the approval of the #Hungarian recovery plan should be solved in #ECOFIN with #QMV.

Extraordinary scenes in Seanad on deeply flawed Horticultural #Peat Bill. On top of exemption from #planning , the bill stayed enforcement action & disregarded unlawful extraction & more putting us clearly in breach of EU law - key parts of their #PeatBill NOT highlighted🤔& 👇
- #Peatbill didn't even bother to provide properly for allocation of all the assessments required by EU law. Talk about giving #falsehope to those impacted by the successive failures! U simply can't stick ur head in the bog when it comes to EU law - at least u shouldn't but 😱👇
What @reginadoherty described as "a foolish legal action" tinyurl.com/2p8k59xr added insult to injury to our National Courts who rightly upheld the challenge . The #PeatBill added further insult and disregard to the EU Court of Justice's rulings.

#EUlaw @EUCourtPress #Poland #CJEU #ECJ
"Over the years, there have been several other EU member states where top courts have challenged the superiority of EU law."
"In Poland, the Constitutional Court already ruled in 2005 that “while EU law may override national statutes, however, it does not override the Constitution""

#EUcitizens were concerned the implementation of #settledstatus would result in de facto limitation of existing rights in the UK during #EULaw application – New guidance on applications for naturalisation as British citizen now seems to confirm these fears. How so? A thread 1/11
It marks the return of the nightmare that is comprehensive sickness insurance (#CSI). 2016 referendum led to an increase in applications for residency documents by #EUcitizens @the3million confirming leave to remain in UK: theconversation.com/why-eu-nationa… 2/11
Not ‘qualified’ EUcitizens (simply not working/studying) expected to hold health insurance despite having lawful & legal access to NHS through residency. Rule not appropriately communicated at any point & result of improper implementation of EUDirect europestreet.news/why-you-need-t… 3/11

The @Telegraph is wrong to say MEPs represent a zombie Parliament.

They are chosen by you, the electorate, and work (yes, work) for a fully active and responsive legislature. #EPfactsUK Thread.
The European Parliament is jointly responsible for passing nearly 90% of new EU law.

See p.33 here ➡️ epgencms.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/upload… #EUlaw 2/
The current Parliament has passed 1128 legislative files since it first sat in July 2014.
