Hmm 🤖🤖🤖
You'll be AMAZED to learn that one of these folks has a stock photo profile

Ht @john3ners
"I'm a ward sister in a 1600 bedder..."
Another "ward sister", called "Dan", is using a photo of the actor Robert Allam

Ht @31ltolox
Surprise! Allison Pearson has fallen for one of the "1600 bedder" accounts
More on the "1600 bedder" claims. Seems like they were prompted by a question from a guy who thinks the pandemic was created because of a treaty signed in 2005 🤡
Looks like the original "ward sister" has left the building

EU criminal law and Ireland

Text of draft EU Council decision implementing Ireland's partial participation in Schengen rules from start of 2021: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

nb this means that Ireland will participate in criminal law aspects, NOT immigration aspects, of Schengen 1/
2/ This is very similar to the UK's partial participation in Schengen - which will finish at the end of the transition period, ie at the same moment when Irish partial participation *starts*.

I discussed the UK's partial participation here: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2015/02/bringi…
3/ The draft decision is on the agenda to be approved by Member States' representatives on Wednesday, and formally adopted shortly afterward.

It implements in practice the decision on Irish partial participation in Schengen adopted back in 2002: op.europa.eu/en/publication…

The author of this tweet is being misleading, in order to defend his or her previous lie. The current tariff on soya sauce from Japan is zero, due to the EU/Japan FTA which the UK applies until the end of the year. The UK and Japan do not currently trade on WTO terms.
Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?
So you're telling us that FTAs with our major trading partners *are* better than "WTO terms"/"Australia terms"? Got it.

As @ColinYeo1 has pointed out foreign national offenders from an EU country are nothing to do with the asylum system. But I'll add that since @ukhomeoffice officials surely know this, the authors of this tweet are therefore brazen liars who are unfit for public service.
I have emailed the permanent secretary to the Home Office to this end: "Frankly, I find it hard to see how this behaviour is consistent with the civil service code - in particular the requirements of integrity and honesty."

The lying about asylum and EU citizens will continue until the polling improves

CJEU, data protection

Judgment in @privacyint and French and Belgian cases: mass data retention is illegal in principle, but can be justified on national security grounds if temporary and subject to safeguards
CJEU, rule of law

Hungary's expulsion of Central European University was in breach of EU free movement law, WTO law, EU Charter right to academic freedom
CJEU, foreign policy sanctions

EU courts have jurisdiction to rule on damages if EU foreign policy sanctions were illegal; but a breach of the obligation to provide adequate reasons does not give rise to damages liability

CJEU, weird foods I

New judgment: insects do not fall within the scope of the EU's 'novel foods' regulation: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
CJEU, weird foods II

New judgment: oral aphrodisiacs probably not covered by reduced VAT rate for foodstuffs: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
This is the kind of case law on food you get on a continent that doesn't have ice cubes...

Commission: letter of formal notice sent to UK re the internal market bill and the withdrawal agreement. Invites the UK to reply within a month.

An explanation of the legal process - thread
The Commission is using the infringement procedure, which applies if Member States allegedly breach EU law. It applies to UK too for now, due to Art 131 of the withdrawal agreement, which gives CJEU its usual jurisdiction during the transition period, including over the agreement
Starting the infringement process doesn't establish by itself that UK has broken the law. It contains several pre-litigation phases. After the one month expires, the next phase is a reasoned opinion to the UK. Usually two months to reply to that, but the Commission can shorten.
