Withdrawal Agreement Article 132

Even if the transition period were extended, it would not be easy to navigate politically and legally. Firstly, the Council`s (EU) 2020/135 decision stipulates that the EU is represented by the European Commission in the Joint Committee and refers to the exercise of the Council`s decision-making functions in accordance with the treaties, including the european Union`s position in the Joint Committee (Article 2, paragraph 2). Therefore, the Commission can only act within the parameters of the EU`s position defined by the Council, i.e. with the agreement of the Member States. In addition, the Council`s decision states that the European Parliament “will be able to fully exercise its institutional prerogatives throughout the process” (Article 2, paragraph 3). . One of the prerogatives is Parliament`s ability to “ask questions or make recommendations” to the Council and the High Representative (Article 36 of the TUE). Second, an extension of the transitional period will have conditions. Would the extension be for 1 or 2 years? When would the end point be and what would determine it? It goes without saying that a decision of the Joint Committee could also remove the “1 or 2 years” in the event of a change in international law to extend the transition period after 1 July 2020.

2. EU obligations under EU trade guarantee law apply in the United Kingdom where the tendering, contracting or contracting procedure for the classified contract, classified sub-contract or exclusion case was initiated before the end of the transition period. The implementation of a growth strategy after the EIB`s withdrawal is not covered by this article. 3. The main objective of the part relating to the separation provisions (Articles 40-125) is to ensure legal certainty so that, at the end of the transition period, edough proceedings can be closed on the basis of the application of EU law, in accordance with EU law. This third part also contains the special provisions necessary for the eu`s orderly exit from the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom).
