The hangover from Brexit

Bilgi announced this week that a new round of negotiations will begin in London at 10 and 11 a.m. between representatives of the United Kingdom (England) and the European Commission, with the participation of ambassadors from Spain and Gibraltar. It’s about closing the “unlimited” operation agreement between Spain and Gibraltar. Spain and the United Kingdom reached an agreement last year to agilely resolve the movement of cross-border workers and Gibraltars. Since then, seven rounds of negotiations have taken place to finalize the guidelines created by the European Commission, which must have Spain’s final approval to enter into force. Let’s not forget that this was Pedro Sánchez’s last request for a Brexit deal. Rules for land and air transport and the rights of cross-border workers must be agreed. At the same time, it is aimed to find solutions that will eliminate physical checks and controls of people and goods at the land border between Spain and Gibraltar and guarantee the integrity of the Schengen area and the single market. Gibraltarians want to stay and they said so in the Brexit referendum, the free movement of people and goods in the European Union in the Schengen area. For this, it is necessary to specify how visas, residence permits, asylum and police cooperation are processed. The land border will disappear, but neither the port of La Roca nor the airport can be a transit route to the EU for other non-EU passengers. Here the problem arises: borders can be monitored by European border guards, those of Frontex; Spanish border guards; or Frontex border guards of Spanish origin. In case of differences in the application of the agreed rules, it is necessary to agree on the Court of Justice, which will interpret the agreements and the practice in progress. Europe logically wants it to be the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

Where the economic and political consequences of Brexit will be felt most will be the non-existent border between Northern Ireland (Ireland) and the Republic of Ireland. The transition period is over as a new trade deal is negotiated between the EU and the UK. Northern Irish are still part of England – just like Gibraltar. Brexit will mean the end of free movement between Europeans and the British and the application of certain barriers to goods and services, but these limitations will not apply to Northern Ireland, which shares a land border with the Republic of Ireland. EU. Like the Gibraltars entering the EU via Spain. Those born in Northern Ireland are entitled to both Irish and British citizenship and can retain European citizenship.

EU and UK trade deal to avoid a hard Brexit where European companies and companies from England, Wales and Scotland would see their products on the other side of the English Channel without tariffs; however, goods from Ireland belong to Europe and do not have or will have to pass through the new system of trade barriers such as paperwork, certificates and customs checks when entering the Schengen area.

For the first time in a century, Irish nationalists Sinn Féin, the political arm of the IRA, won elections in the north and may consider holding a referendum to join the Republic of Ireland. A situation that could spill over to Wales is a new headache for the prime minister, although the accounts are not yet revealed. Brexit is yet to be closed, and if something is missing, the final blows could be the end of Boris Johnson’s populist government.
