European Arrest Warrant law will now probably apply to the UK until October 31st, due to the extension of EU membership. (Even without that, ordinary extradition law would apply). EAW law leaves it to UK authorities to assess whether to prioritise EAW or US extradition request.
Reminder that Mr Assange challenged the previous Swedish EAW up to the UK Supreme Court: supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-201…
At the time, UK courts could not ask the CJEU questions about EAW cases. Now they can. Mr Assange might challenge a new EAW, leading to a fast track CJEU judgment.
The EU & USA have an extradition treaty (building on national treaties with the US), which the CJEU also has jurisdiction to interpret. While the UK has opted out of that treaty, Sweden has not, in the event that proceedings relating to Assange are brought in the Swedish courts.

Labour are looking for MEP candidates. Vacancies for many of the regional constituencies here. (Nb folks in the lower part of the list won't be elected) I assume many incumbents would be running again? labour.org.uk/activist-hub/g…
More details here ⬇️
Green party says it's psyched for EP elections, but no further details on the website AFAICS
Nothing about European Parliament candidates from the Liberal Democrats or TIG yet AFAICS, including on their websites, although the latter has applied for recognition as a political party in order to run candidates.

1/ Amidst the latest attempt by Parliament to take some control over the Brexit agenda from the executive, a short thread on contradictory Brexity arguments about the UK parliament compared to the European Parliament.
2/ Among many false Brexity claims about the European Parliament, you sometimes see the (mostly) accurate claim that the European Parliament cannot initiate legislative proposals. (There are a handful of exceptions to the rule).
3/ Brexiters proceed from this mostly accurate claim to assert that therefore "the European Parliament is not a real Parliament, unlike Westminster". The flaw with this argument is that in practice the executive controls Parliament's agenda. Private members bills need govt time.

Cengiz Aktar, türkischer Politikwissenschaftler, erklärt in diesem lesenswerten Artikel,
warum sich die #EU so schwer damit tut, die Beitrittsgespräche mit der #Türkei formell zu beenden. Er zählt u.a. folgende Gründe auf:
ahvalnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/ahvalnews.…
1. Für die EU-Bürokratie ist es ein Novum, dass ein Beitrittskandidat die Kriterien nicht erfüllt. Wie beendet man Beitrittsgespräche (siehe Brexit-Problematik).

2. Die europäische Investitionsbank ist mit Krediten in Höhe von 30 Mrd € Gläubiger der Türkei.
3. Die Türkei ist durch europäische staatliche Förderbanken (AfD in FR und KfW in DEU) mit Billigkrediten in Milliardenhöhe überschwemmt worden. Die wollen das Geld zurück.

THREAD..

..on the biggest and baddest lobbyists in EU town

..the huge influence they have on EU lawmaking

..and how many represent interests from outside the EU.

/1
According to Transparency International @TI_EU, the lobby organisation that has held the most high-level meetings at the European Commission between 2014 and 2018 is @BusinessEurope.

"BusinessEurope?!?" you ask.

/2
@TI_EU @BusinessEurope It is hardly surprising that the vast majority of people have never heard of BusinessEurope.

There is a worrying media blackout about how a complex network of organisations lobby the #EU on behalf of the world largest corporations.

Cet été, des ONG dont @sdnfr ont déposé plainte contre EDF pour une pollution de l’eau par le tritium rejeté par la centrale nucléaire de @EDFCruasMeysse. 190 Bq/L, contre 10 en temps normal...

Mais le SCANDALE est ailleurs, aux portes de Paris !

bit.ly/2R5GlC0
En 2017, des rejets SCANDALEUX, de tritium ont eu lieu dans la Seine, en amont de #Paris par la centrale #nucléaire de Nogent. Assez de becquerels pour polluer TROIS CENT MILLIARDS DE LITRES #pollution #scandale #COP21 #LaffaireDuSiecle !!!
Et le pire, c’est qu’elle y est AUTORISÉE ! Même par l'@ASN ! Et le tritium, ce n’est que la partie émergée de l'iceberg qui fond ! Carbone 14, iode et gaz rares radioactifs, produits de fission et d’activation…

“May has left our fingers in the EU mangle but there is a way to get free”; highly dillusional article by ⁦@DavidDavisMP⁩. 1/

thetimes.co.uk/article/335917…
Take this for example, ditch #EU regulation and replace it in order to reach a trade deal with the US. They will have us for breakfast, forcing further deregulation and acceptance of harmful agri-products. Industry don’t necessarily want it and in services they will squeeze us./2
This; how, what and when? @DavidDavisMP has been Secretary of State for 2 years and hasn’t come up with any substantial and viable proposals, as the technology doesn’t exist. Neither has he strongly engaged with the #EU27 to work this out due to lack of internal HMG agreement. /3
