CJEU, equality law
New judgment clarifies the position of new mothers working night shifts, ie who has the burden of proof to show a health and safety problem
CJEU judgment on Brexit and European Arrest Warrants now online. Note importance of the ECHR and (implicitly) the Human Rights Act. Blog post soon: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
Also a fast track CJEU judgment today on cross border family law: what happens if UK parents take their children to Ireland to avoid a UK local authority decision to place the children in care? curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
Finally, a third fast track CJEU judgment today, interpreting EU legislation on presumption of innocence (no English version yet): curia.europa.eu/juris/document…

1/ Some additional points to add to David's fact check of the latest no deal Brexit claims
2/ The "no deal is more legally certain" claim is false. I debunked this nonsense in a previous thread
3/ As for rolling over existing FTAs: even if they are all in place on time with identical terms, the UK trading position will be worse because the rules of origin will change, ie goods partly produced in the UK may no longer count as EU goods

1 It's not a documentary. But to see how closely #Idanielblake matches reality, let's have a look at some details from the UN report on poverty in the UK: ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/…
2 Impact of the delay in receiving universal credit - based on a study on its roll out in the North East.
3 Impact of sanctions in the universal credit system, based also on research

1/ Let's take a look at Mr Nelson's support for the rights of @The3Million, shall we? Because the record is...chequered.
2/ He was on a @britishfuture inquiry (with me and others) that recommended unilateral guarantees for @The3Million in December 2016. Details here: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2016/12/bargai…
3/ The Leave MPs on the inquiry, Stuart and Braverman, then voted *against* such guarantees a few months later. IIRC Nelson tweeted his agreement. The purity of the Article 50 bill could not be sullied etc. My take on Stuart: google.com/url?sa=i&sourc…

"#Brexit and EU agencies", our extensive look into third country relationships of the 36 EU agencies and how the UK might fit in.

swp-berlin.org/fileadmin/cont…

Albeit largely technical, agencies will have huge implications on Brexit.

Five points stand out in particular:
First, Agencies matter. Like the customs union, they are a technical aspect of the EU, that works and was thus hardly discussed in the UK before #Brexit.
But they are important for single market, but also justice and home affairs.

UK gov thus has already asked to continue participation in selected agencies, in particular in sectors important to the UK economy, like aviation, chemicals or pharma.

UK position paper on transition has leaked here: assets.bwbx.io/documents/user…

First major discussion point is of course that UK wants #Brexit transition to last until new relationship is in place.

3 things to learn from that:
a) A sense of realism is taking hold in Westminster on #Brexit. As long argued, a time limited transition is dangerous esp. for the UK, as it creates a new cliff edge. There is very little chance of a fully fledged future relationship negotiated, agreed and fully ratified by 2021
b) The EU strategy of making the UK ask for an extension has worked. If the EU had proposed this, it would have seemed like it wants to keep the UK close indefinitely.

Now it is clear that it is the UK, for economic reasons, that needs this potentially very long transition

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.

At 10am today, we will hear from @GuillaumeVdLoo, @SMerler and @StevenBlockmans on the continuing application of EU trade agreements after #Brexit. Then we will question @GregHands, Minister of State for Trade Policy. Watch live at goo.gl/pE6nF3 #UKTrade
. @GuillaumeVdLoo tells us 'copying and pasting' existing EU FTA is not feasible. There are legal and technical issues regarding tariff rate quotes, political challenges in negotiation etc. Exchange of letters is more practical but has technical issues. #UKTrade
.@StevenBlockmans agrees that an exchange of letters is the preferred option. This requires EU cooperation and is a 'damage limitation' exercise for the UK & EU. Ratification is lengthy. It's 'wishful thinking' to scrap all references to the EU in trade agreements. #UKTrade
