UK was supposed to leave the EU Friday, 29 March 2019
THIS DID NOT HAPPEN
Now UK is due to leave 31 October 2019
--> If the UK and EU ratify the withdrawal agreement before then, the UK will leave on the first day of the following month
They can stop Brexit:
--> it would require a change in the law in the UK, something neither the government nor the main UK opposition parties want to do at this point
UK could cancel the Article 50 Brexit process without the permission of the other 27 EU members
-remain a member of the EU on its existing terms
-if Parliament voted for it
The main point of having a deal between the UK and the EU is to ensure as smooth as possible an exit from the EU for businesses and individuals - and to allow time for the two sides to hammer out a permanent trading relationship
Therese May negotiated a deal with EU
--> The first suffered a defeat, of 230 votes
-Survived an attempt to oust her as prime minister
-want her to attempt to get a better deal
-
Reasons for Brexit
-Want independence of EU/want their Sovereignty
-Cost and economics
-dislike the freedom of movement in regards to immigrantion
They also want to be sovereign, and They want to make their own trading deals
--> they want nothing to do with EU bureaucracy
There’s a growing distrust of multinational financial, trade, and defense organizations created after World War II, such as EU and NATO
--> Many who oppose the EU believe these institutions no longer serve a purpose
Brexit is now on the agenda because many in Britain wants a to regain control over EU immigration
The immigration crisis in Europe was a trigger. Some EU leaders argued that helping the refugees was a moral obligation. But EU opponents saw immigration as a national issue, as it affected the internal life and econmics of the country
The no-brexit-deal: The UK would sever all ties with the EU with immediate effect, with no transition period and no guarantees on citizens' rights of residence.
-disruption to businesses, moving out of country- to netherlands
-Food retailers have warned of shortages of fresh produce and the NHS is stockpiling medicines, in case supplies from EU countries are interrupted
EU citizens in the UK will be able to stay even if there is no deal done on Brexit
-EU nationals with a right to permanent residence, which is granted after they have lived in the UK for five years, should not see their rights affected after Brexit.
There is uncertainty about what no deal would mean for Britons living in France, Spain, Germany and elsewhere. The priority for most will be to register as residents, but the rules - including deadlines for paperwork - vary from country to country.
No deal would mean the current reciprocal (goes both ways) healthcare, shared by the UK and the EU27, would no longer apply. Not longer covered in EU
-Britons could also find their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) - a passport to emergency medical treatment - is no longer valid in some EU countries.
As Consequenses, there is a lot of uncertainty
-
-
-Uncertainty for the economy
--> businesses leaving
--> Pound might be dropping or be devalued
--> In addition Britain need to renegotiate trade deals with everybody
