EU Commission partly withdraws trade preferences for Cambodia due to human rights concerns:
ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
1/2 Withdrawing EU trade preferences from Cambodia is on the basis of a law concerning trade preferences for developing countries, which won't apply to the UK. If the UK and EU have no FTA, there will be no preferences to withdraw.
2/2 If UK/EU have an FTA, withdrawal of trade preferences will be on grounds set out in the FTA, subject to its dispute settlement. It's too early to know details, although the proposed EU negotiating mandate refers more specifically to human rights in the *security* context.
Anyway here's the full text of the Commission decision withdrawing some trade preferences from Cambodia on human rights grounds: ec.europa.eu/transparency/r…
It might be challenged directly in the EU courts, or in the event of standing problems, via the national courts first.
