We know these are momentous times when a UK Ambassador is discussing Rules of Origin - at an event looking at future UK Sweden relations in Stockholm
Now @Fjellner says "everyone is talking about rules of Origin." But there are many issues other than Brexit that the EU faces
"A divorce where nobody is moving, which is complicated" or "how to separate siames twins, you need a good surgeon" @Fjellner #Brexit
"to succeed in any negotiation you need a clear mandate and broad political support" @Fjellner
And now @AnnaStellinger is recalling how the media keep asking her and team about Rules of Origin. The theme so far... #RulesofOriginFriday
Bad news for some...
I did not mention Rules of Origin in my presentation.
After an intense discussion of the ins and outs of the coming weeks and months of Brexit a clear message from business "in this context I am supposed to run a business?"

A modest step forward by those MPs supporting a 'Norway' Brexit - they have a better name than Norway+, we now have Common Market 2.0, also breaking the unwritten Brexit rule that all proposals must be +++ d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/stephenkinnock…
There's not much new here, but mention of our freedom to set agriculture rules doesn't sit well with commitments on the Irish border unless assuming Northern Ireland does not in fact have that freedom, and Irish Sea checks
Biggest problem for EEA supporters remains the opposition of both the Labour leadership and the referendum campaigners. Although a majority of MPs could probably live with an EEA solution it is hard to see us getting there

Meanwhile here are the "30 truths about leaving on WTO terms". globalbritain.co.uk/wp-content/upl… I make it that 7 are true, 8 partly true.
Here's the fact checking for claims 1-13...
14-30. Statements about the future are inherently debatable, so you simply can't say "there will be no roaming charges" is a fact. It is a possibility.

Hopeless. One of the EU's perennial complaints about Brexit negotiations is that they've been expected to play the role of both sides as the UK side has never really known what we wanted. theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
The EU will probably be able to make minor changes to the Withdrawal Agreement and perhaps more significant ones to the Political Declaration, but they expect these to be the final ones to get a deal over the line in Parliament. The PM doesn't know what these are.
There is no way the EU will agree to this, any negotiating partner will agree to this, and the very fact the PM is floating the idea will have Brussels in continuing disbelief at the PM's lack of understanding of negotiations. thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/t…

This is a doctor working out there on the loose! With no honor or dignity.
Kurds in Sweden and Stockholm should bring her to justice!

I’ve been learning a little about cumulation in the past wee while. A thread.
The EU has trade deals (FTAs) with countries. (Usually called ‘Third’ countries in this context).
These trade deals have rules. So, for example, South Korea recognises something as originating in the EU if it has a certain % EU content.
