Bill also includes provisions to guarantee continued functioning of energy links with UK.
And a measure to ensure UK remains part of an agreement on chips & semi-conductors.
Plus, Dutch citizens residing in the UK will still be covered by Dutch healthcare regulations.

So why is this significant?
Commission has been trying to avoid members frm making preparations that wd make No Deal more palatable to UK.
Some of the measures in this "Great No Deal bill" are clearly designed to avoid disruption. Sensible? Sure. But NL is walking a fine line
