The latest infringement proceedings brought by the EU Commission. Lots of developments in different areas, but here's some highlights...
ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
Commission starts infringement proceedings against Germany due to national constitutional court refusing to accept primacy of EU law re ECB decisions
Commission starts infringement proceedings against three more Member States re EU law on racist hate speech and Holocaust denial
Asylum law: Commission begins proceedings against Hungary for alleged failure to comply with a recent judgment (this could lead to fines) as well as more on other alleged breaches
Race discrimination in education: Commission starts infringement proceedings against Hungary. Perhaps concerns about Roma people in particular - @hhc_helsinki can you confirm?
Interesting on EU citizenship: further action re Malta and Cyprus "selling" EU citizenship; two Member States brought to CJEU for refusing to let EU citizens join national political parties
Finally, back to Hungary again. The Commission starts proceedings for breach of EU law re non-renewal of a radio licence. This station has been described as one of the last independent radio stations in Hungary: edition.cnn.com/2021/02/09/eur…
An addition to the list of interesting new infringement proceedings. The CJEU ruled several times that data protection authorities were not independent enough as regards the previous data protection directive. This could be the first such case re the GDPR.

1/ Brexit law- proposal to negotiate a youth mobility treaty between the EU and the UK

Press release - note basic rule would be a 4-year stay for 18-30 year olds who meet the conditions

But wait, there's more ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
Image
2/ EU/UK youth mobility treaty proposal - questions and answers

Note equal treatment in tuition fees, points re traineeships, visa fees, health surcharges, application to all Member States - would UK government accept all this? (Also a question to ask Labour)
Image
Image
3/ EU/UK proposed youth mobility treaty - text of proposed Council decision and explanatory memo

Note it would also include family reunion (not further detailed at this point). Dispute settlement system of the Brexit deal would apply (not the CJEU)

1/ Here's the Rwanda bill - my thread with the main points follows
2/ The context of the bill is the recently agreed Rwanda treaty. The issues in clause 1.3 *might* be enough to convince courts to change their mind on the safety of Rwanda since the Supreme Court judgment, but as we'll see it's a moot point: the bill dispenses with courts anyway. Image
3/ clause 1.4.b is correct: an Act of Parliament that breaches international law is still valid *domestic* law. BUT it will remain a breach of international law.

(We are likely to hear from people who do not understand these basic points) Image

1/ I am seeing this being shared. A few points. Image
2/ The spiel in the link confuses the two EU courts, which is not impressive. In fact the applicants in this case lost earlier in the EU General Court, then lost their appeal this year to the CJEU. And this omits to point out that the CJEU had ruled on the substance in June 2022. Image
3/ My comments on the previous judgment: '.
Because the Court ruled here that Brits lost EU citizenship because UK left the EU, it said this year that Brits had no legal interest to sue the EU to challenge the withdrawal agreement to get it back.eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2022/06/its-en…

Profoundly ignorant on both points. A) the Good Friday Agreement requires compliance with the ECHR. That necessarily entails the Strasbourg Court. There's no legal route to saying that it applies but to the peace process only. 1/
2/ And the idea that it applies to the "peace process" but not "foreign nationals" is confused - for the obvious reason that some of those covered by the former ground may be Irish citizens.
3/ The Strasbourg Court jurisdiction is relevant to Northern Ireland for a very, very obvious reason: it had ruled that the UK had breached the ECHR in Northern Ireland after British courts had ruled that it had not. "Just rely on British courts" therefore misses the point.

1/ I see "gotchas" assuming that this interpretation of the scope of EU external power is correct. It's not obvious that it is correct: labour migration is not the same thing as trade (apart from short term provision of services), so is not necessarily an EU exclusive competence.
2/ Nor is Schengen necessarily relevant here, as it applies to short term visits and the issue is longer term stays. There's limited EU harmonisation on non-EU labour migration, and both the Treaties and EU legislation have carve-outs on aspects of the topic.
3/ There's no current legal framework requiring Member States to get the Commission’s approval on labour migration treaties. So the Commission would have to sue Member States in the CJEU, and for the reasons just given it's not certain it would win.
