The government has now set out appeal rights for EU citizens (as required by the withdrawal agreement) in secondary legislation.

Summary in the blog post below; full text of the statutory instrument here:
legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/61/c…
More Brexit secondary legislation - commencement orders bringing into force

1 a chunk of the Withdrawal Agreement Act - including reviving the European Communities Act for the transition period: legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/75/p…

2 more of the Withdrawal Act - legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/74/p…
Note that the new rules on appeal rights for EU citizens apply on the actual Brexit day already. This is an exception to the usual rule that Brexit legal changes take effect at the end of the transition period.
Thread on the new appeal rights rules for EU citizens. Note the suggestion that those about to apply for settled status wait until Saturday, so they can use the new rules fully if necessary:

@KillBrexitNow @ProfJeffKenner @eyejosh 1 the right comes from the Treaties, and the conditions for it are defined therein
2 legal personality is irrelevant to the conditions
3 'additional to' means that EU citizenship is founded on nationality of a Member State, not separate from it ->
@KillBrexitNow @ProfJeffKenner @eyejosh MS nationality is a house, while EU citizenship is a loft. You can have a house without a loft, but not a loft without a house.
4 Use of Art 9 TEU is circular; issue is whether UK citizens retain EU citizenship in the first place. Application of Art 50 is compatible with EU law
@KillBrexitNow @ProfJeffKenner @eyejosh 5 CJEU says citizenship is fundamental status *of nationals of Member States* - realllly dodgy to leave that out
- Rottman etc confirms that EU citizenship is only for nationals of Member States - otherwise why does CJEU require review of loss of the the latter in this context?

Singapore confirms that it will apply the EU/Singapore FTA to the UK during the transition period, following the EU notification letter to this effect.
Here's the EU letter to Singapore, sent yesterday. This is a standard letter sent to all non-EU countries.
Here's the annex to the EU letter to Singapore, setting out the legal details of the transition period. Again this is a standard text. It is updated from the original draft of this annex to take account of membership extensions.

Text of EU Council decision setting up working party on the UK - consilium.europa.eu/register/en/co…
Will consist of Member States' civil servants overseeing implementation of the withdrawal agreement and Commission negotiations with the UK.
So far Germany, Austria & Slovenia have notified that they will not execute UK European Arrest Warrants for their citizens during the transition period. (They will still execute EAWs for citizens of other countries, including UK). Member States have until Tuesday to notify this.
Taking a moment to remember the folks who told me in 2016 that this wouldn't happen, when I pointed out that several Member States' national constitutions ban extradition of citizens outside the EU

.@GiselaStuart is in the news because she joined @BorisJohnson and @michaelgove to encourage people to vote Tory. As chair of Vote Leave she has of course been happy to stand alongside them for a long time. Let me tell you about one thing they've already done together. [Thread]
Those three, together with @patel4witham, made a promise to EU citizens in 2016. They signed it with their names. The promise was that nothing would change for us. The reality for EU citizens now is the exact opposite of the promise made.
Stuart (and the others), as is now well documented, made many false promises during the campaign. For EU citizens they repeatedly cited the Vienna Convention to assure us all would be ok. As experts pointed out at the time: it does not apply. Yet Stuart and others kept using it.

Dutch House of Representatives raise alarm over discrimination & deportation threat for EU citizens.

Key concerns raised about the treatment of EU citizens in a letter from its European Affairs Committee to Lord Callanan, Minister of State at the Department for Exiting the EU.
The letter raises three key issues: the lack of a physical document to show EU citizens’ immigration status; the threat of discrimination through secondary legislation that could curtail their entrepreneurial rights; and what will happen to those not applying by the deadline.

Why @krls & @toni_comin must be allowed to take their seats in the @Europarl_EN
"The essential step to become an MEP is to receive enough support. #Catalans understood this and delivered massive majority support to @krls, @toni_comin, @ClaraPonsati, and the whole list"
@boye_g

"#Spain's #SupremeCourt should suspend the national arrest warrants against @krls & @toni_comin. Both now enjoy immunity that the Supreme can't interfere with. They must decide to respect the law or not, but the little credibility they still have in Europe is at risk."
@boye_g

Asked whether @krls & @toni_comin must swear to uphold the Constitution in person before #Spain's Central Electoral Board before taking office, @boye_g said the rule was out-of-date, against EU law, and, if the #SupremeCourt got involved in this battle, it would surely lose.

#FATF and #EU need to fundamentally rethink their approach to virtual assets/currencies... - mailchi.mp/9c189a620509/f…
A similar line of thinking can be seen at the E-money association, who effectively ask to retract article 7b completely...

1/ The Withdrawal Agreement & implementation in UK law. The risks of the UK approach to EU citizens rights. This is an important thread, please read and bear with us.
2/ The UK Government has informed the3million that they intend to use secondary legislation to implement large parts of Settled Status. But what does that actually mean and why should EU citizens be worried?
3/ there are two forms of legislation in the UK, primary & secondary. Primary legislation is what people talk about mainly. Acts & bills that get passed by Parliament after debate, which is called parliamentary scrutiny. It's checked & majority of Parliament agrees. And then...
