Recommend reading this full thread clearly setting out the detail of concerns re food standards in UK #Brexit #trade @FoodMattersLive

[Nick von Westenholz @nvonwestenholz]

After another weekend of coverage of trade deals and food standards, there’s been particular interest in the joint letter from Liz Truss and George Eustice sent to MPs on Friday. Lets break it down (long thread, apologies)…. /1

[Adam Payne @adampayne26]

The Border Delivery Group and Gov departments are now working with ports to establish the best locations for inland infrastructure in GB

Gov has also announced an extra £50mill for the customs sector to prepare for Jan - this cash is for intermediaries, not businesses themselves

[Adam Payne @adampayne26]

New: Gov confirms new Brexit border plans

- checks phased over 6 months (Jan-July)
- Jan - few checks, but full customs declarations & tariff payments delayed
- July - full customs, tariffs, safety/security, SPS checks
- HMG building new infrastructure *away* from the borders

Today’s speech by Michel Barnier... EU firm as ever on what has previously been agreed with UK in Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration #Brexit

Good explanation of tariff and no-tariff barriers to UK-EU trade in no deal scenario, from January 2021 https://t.co/M4N2QXCMR6

[Shape of Things Europe @shapeofthingsEU]

Some clarification on the UK’s post-#Brexit transition tariff regime. This will apply to #trade with Europe from Jan 2021 in the absence of a UK-EU deal being closed by the end of this year https://t.co/RwFUaLZy5M

UK #Brexit trade deal negotiating position was published today. However there is increasing concern it may not come to a deal at all, and UK would crash out on 31-12-2020

[Marietje Schaake @MarietjeSchaake]

A very inconvenient truth about the #copyright vote: after corrections of votes (allowed for the record but without changing the outcome of the vote) there would have been a majority for voting for or against 11&13. History is a dime on its side ↘️ (P. 51) https://t.co/S1DhXBcqAo

So Article 13 of the Copyright Directive has passed, and that's bad news for content creators and viewers around the world. Here's what you need to know.

[Felix Reda @Senficon]

Voting on individual amendments (like the proposal to delete #Article13) was rejected by a majority of just 5 votes. #SaveYourInternet

[Laura Kayali @LauKaya]

#Copyright meets the European election: "We will only vote for politicians who vote against Article 13," reads the pledge launched by digital rights NGOs.

A big thank you from the birds and the insects this morning to @EP_Environment Commitee MEPs who just voted for significant funds for nature friendly farming in Europe and limiting subsidies to factory farms! Now time for @EP_Agriculture to show where they stand! #FutureOfCAP
