The talks between the EU and Great Britain about a reorganization of relations after Brexit are not moving an inch further. Brussels is already preparing for a possible chaos from January 1st. Emergency laws are designed to avoid the worst of clutter. The European Union is preparing for the failure of the negotiations on the Brexit trade pact in order to alleviate the feared chaos at the turn of the year. Among other things, it is about maintaining air and road traffic and fishing, as the Brussels authority announced. “The negotiations are still ongoing, but the end of the transition period is near,” tweeted Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen. There is no guarantee of a contract. “We have to be prepared – also for the fact that no contract will be in force on January 1st.” The emergency measures for this case contain a proposal to maintain certain flight connections between the UK and the EU for six months – based on reciprocity with the UK. There should also be a transitional rule for the recognition of safety certificates for aircraft so that they do not have to be decommissioned in the EU. A similar mutual regulation should exist to maintain freight transport and bus traffic, also for six months.

For the politically very controversial topic of fisheries, the EU Commission is proposing a legal framework that should apply until December 31, 2021 – or until a fisheries agreement with Great Britain. This agreement is intended to regulate the access of British fishing trawlers into EU waters and vice versa. The Commission will work closely with the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers to bring the regulations into force before January 1, 2021. Several EU states had repeatedly urged the Commission to take these emergency measures forward. The Commission delayed this. Now she justified the move with the great uncertainty whether a trade agreement will be in force by January 1st that would make these measures unnecessary. A joint dinner by Great Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson and von der Leyen had not led to any concrete result on Wednesday evening. However, a new negotiation deadline of Sunday was agreed.

Delling on Brexit negotiations “One wonders why there are still deadlines”

Foreign Minister Dominic Raab at the BBC described the fact that there could also be talks about a Brexit trade pact as “unlikely”. He does not categorically rule out further discussions. But it is important to have “finality”. “It depends on the progress that will be made by then,” said Raab. The Sunday deadline should “help to focus the thoughts”. The British negotiator David Frost and his EU colleague Michel Barnier are now to continue negotiations in Brussels. The central sticking points are still fishing, fair competition and the question of how the agreements are legally enforced in the event of a dispute. Raab said: “I don’t think we can continue at this pace without progress and flexibility.” The EU is trying to “bind us to its rules,” said Raab. If there is still a treaty, the British Parliament would be ready to pass it this year, said the Speaker of the House of Commons, Lindsay Hoyle. The last scheduled day of the meeting was December 21. “But if we have to, (…) we can even meet until Christmas Eve,” said Hoyle to Sky News. As the “Sun” reported, a meeting at Christmas would be the first on the holidays since 1656. A meeting between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is not excluded.
