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.
CCC Co-Director Nicola McEwen also discusses the proposals set out in the UK Government's white paper on the internal market and explains how these could have a profound impact on devolution in the UK
As Boris Johnson visits Scotland today, how might he make the case for the Union? CCC Fellows @DaniCetra and @Coree_Brown explored this issue in recent publications
