UK planning to override parts of Brexit withdrawal agreement


The move comes as Britain and the European Union resume talks on a trade deal, with Johnson (pic) saying on Sunday that if an agreement is not reached by Oct. 15, both sides should "accept that and move on".

LONDON: The British government is planning legislation that will override key parts of the Brexit withdrawal agreement, risking the collapse of trade negotiations with Brussels, the Financial Times reported https://www.ft.com/content/9906e0d4-0c29-4f5f-9cb0-130c75a2f7a7 on Sunday.

Sections of the internal market bill, due to be published on Wednesday, are expected to "eliminate the legal force of parts of the withdrawal agreement" in areas including state aid and Northern Ireland customs, the newspaper said, citing three people familiar with the plans.
