Re: Barnier Issues Ultimatum!
As yet another sign of just how scared the EU are, the just published contingency measures contain this threat to other EU members that might feel like striking a unilateral deal with the UK:"With regard to national measures [ie, any agreement between a member state and the UK], the commission will continue to engage with member states with the aim of ensuring that national measures do not fragment or undermine the single market.
Consequently, in the view of the commission, one core principle of national measures should be their temporary nature. A second principle is that the United Kingdom should not draw similar benefits from such measures as the ones offered by the union in the negotiations on the future agreement. National measures should also take into account the overarching priority with regard to the relationship of the union with any third country, in order to preserve the integrity of the single market, limit the risk of fragmentation and avoid unequal treatment of member states. In any event, national measures of any kind have to comply with EU law, including the principle of sincere cooperation.
At any rate, the EU collectively has a stronger bargaining power than each member state acting alone. This bargaining power benefits all member states. It must be used to ensure a level playing field between the EU and the United Kingdom."

We can use that instead.

Re: Barnier Issues Ultimatum!
' Asked about the EU's bid for reciprocal access to each other's waters in 2021 if there is no trade agreement, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "I think as we've said throughout the negotiations, once we leave the end of the transition period, we will take back control of our waters."We would never accept arrangements and access to UK fishing waters which are incompatible with our status as an independent coastal state." '
That'll be a big fat "No!" to that part of the EU's "contingency plan" then.

I'm pretty sure that those EU companies which help to make up the £90 billion per year surplus in trade with the UK are not going to be very pleased if the EU deliberately introduces obstacles either.

They've never pleaded or begged before; only threatened and demanded. Or is this just DE 'journalism'?
As for a new 'regulation', they can put in place any regulations they like, but when we have left as an independent sovereign state their 'regulations' will mean absolutely nothing to us.
