1/ Today, the CCC is hosting an online event on the #internalmarketbill and devolution, with video available on Youtube on Friday with Michael Keating, @AileenMcHarg @McEwen_Nicola and hosted by @MureDickie
2/ Michael Keating begins, the internal market is, in many ways, a way of replicating what exists to faciliate the European single market. Two options are available: a single standard or principle of mutual recognition
3/ No internal market covers everything, how do we determine the exceptions? The EU operates under a very broad principle, allowing governments to override for public policy objectives. The UK Bill is much more narrowly defined.
