One good reason for doing this regular tracking report is that is means we (i.e. I) can abreast of what is an ever-changing landscape of interactions between the EU and the UK.<\/p>\n
As a case in point, I’d rather missed that the past couple of weeks have been packed with meetings of the numerous Trade & Cooperation Agreement bodies. Possibly that’s a reflection of the lack of substance behind most of those, possibly because the key forum – the Partnership Council – is now some 18 months since it last (and, indeed, first) met.<\/p>\n
As the graphics below point up, the architecture of regular interaction is present and the channels are open should both sides wish to use them.<\/p>\n
But the absence of substantive shift in policy by Rishi Sunak means that while there is a stream of more informal work going on around the Protocol, this has not translated into a need to make more of the WA\/TCA bodies.<\/p>\n
As usual, you can follow the hyperlink below each one to a PDF version with clickable links to minutes and agendas for each meeting.<\/p>\n
