Out now – EU Committee report on the revised Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration, ahead of the start on Monday of @UKHouseofLords consideration of the #WAB: parliament.uk/business/commi…
The report highlights the powers of the new Joint Committee, which will oversee implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement, and expresses concern at the lack of transparency of parliamentary oversight. 
The Committee is concerned that the rules for Northern Ireland’s interaction with both EU and GB will be resolved by the Joint Committee only after the Withdrawal Agreement has been ratified.
In the Committee’s view exit summary declarations are likely to be required for goods moving from Northern Ireland to GB.
The Political Declaration gives only an overview of the future economic relationship. Getting agreement by the end of 2020 will need intense, continuous negotiation.
