I optimistically wrote Three steps back from Brexit<\/a> on my blog (Sept 23). This is the closest I come to documenting the failures in process in handling the citizenship promises made in the withdrawal agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
ChatGPT pointed me at EU takes legal action against UK on free movement <\/a> from politico.eu dated May 2020 and Commission launches infringement proceedings against UK over free movement<\/a> dated 2020 from the Parliament Magazine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked an MP to ask the question, and this is the reply<\/a>, there are eight infringement proceedings, I think two on immigration & citizenship rights and the remaining six on trade and border controls for goods. I have asked a supplementary via Bell Ribeiro-Addey and am referred to a HoL answer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n

The list of active infringement proceedings against the United Kingdom are set out below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- INFR(2020)2202 – Incorrect transposition of the Free Movement Directive by the United Kingdom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- INFR(2011)2054 – Comprehensive sickness insurance requirement and treatment of extended family members with prior residence in the UK.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- INFR(2016)2150 – Termination of the Intra-EU Bilateral Investment Treaties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- INFR(2022)2059 – Non-provision by the United Kingdom of external trade statistics in respect of Northern Ireland, as required by the Protocol on Ireland\/Northern Ireland.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- INFR(2021)2039 – Non-compliance with EU law requirements concerning the movement of agri-food, parcels and pet travel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Infractions 4-8 above relate to the Northern Ireland Protocol and were opened before the UK and EU subsequently agreed the Windsor Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the Intra-EU Bilateral Investment Treaties? Google AI Overview says, “Intra-EU Bilateral Investment Treaties (intra-EU BITs) are agreements between EU member states, establishing the terms and conditions for private investment by nationals and companies of one country in another.”,and here’s what the Commission says<\/a>. (Why would we just not reinstate them?)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Several, maybe the majority of these relate to the “Internal Market Bill”, and maybe the “Windsor Framework”.
