The British government rejects the European Union’s decision to cancel its plans to modify the Brexit agreement negotiated between the two parties in late January, despite European warnings that they will use legal means if the law comes into force, Agerpres reports. .
Gove, who is responsible for enforcing the UK’s exit agreement from the EU, said that he had rejected a request from European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic: “We have made it very clear that we will not withdraw this legislation, and he has. Understood. But we also emphasize the vital importance of moving forward, “Gove told reporters.
The European Union has given the UK a deadline to withdraw its bill amending the Brexit deal and ignore some of its provisions, including those in Northern Ireland, before the end of the month. The law modifies parts of the Brexit treaty signed earlier this year between the Kingdom and the EU: the protocol for Northern Ireland is modified and the ministers of the London government will have the power to change or repeal the rules on the movement of goods.
Maros Sefcovic, Vice President of the European Commission, said that if this law is passed, it will flagrantly violate international law and the withdrawal agreement. He urged the United Kingdom to stop “before the end of the month” and reminded the British that “there are legal mechanisms and ways to sanction the breaches of the obligations of each party and the European Union will not be afraid to use them.”
