The EU Court of Justice has ruled that plant-based products can continue using terms traditionally associated with meat, such as "burger" and "sausage," as long as their ingredients are clearly labeled and do not mislead consumers. This decision follows a challenge to a 2021 French law banning terms like "veggie burger." Get all the details on today's "What's right with the world".
Yes, contrary to our episode title in March of this year, the EU Court of Justice has now ruled that plant-based products can be called terms like sausage, burger or steak (so long as a list of ingredients is clearly printed somewhere). At least supermarket customers aren't as daft as various countries thought they were.

What are the possible ramifications of the EU Court of Justice’s ruling? Jerry spoke to Aidan Regan who’s associate professor at UCD’s School of Politics and International Relations.
In a major win for EU regulators, the European Court of Justice has ruled that Apple must pay €13 billion in back taxes to Ireland, dismissing a final appeal by the company against the European Commission's 2016 order. Separately, the court upheld a €2.4 billion fine imposed on Google over its online shopping comparison service.

In this episode of the SALTovation podcast, we continue our discussion with Florian Hanslik, a seasoned tax professional specializing in VAT. Listen as we take a brief detour from U.S. taxation to explore European VAT systems. We cover the regulatory framework, audit processes, and the fascinating trajectory of VAT towards digitalization within the EU. Florian provides foresight into the increasing digitalization of VAT compliance and how businesses need to adapt to these evolutionary changes in the tax landscape.Key Takeaways:EU VAT Directive and Adaptation: The VAT Directive sets standard guidelines that EU countries must implement but allows for local adaptations, leading to significant variations in VAT rates and regulations.Role of the EU Court of Justice: The Court ensures uniform application of the VAT laws across member states, influencing national legislation and compliance practices.Digitalization of VAT Compliance: Moving towards a unified e-invoicing system by 2035 to streamline trade within the EU, despite countries like Poland and Italy having already implemented their systems.VAT Audits in Different Jurisdictions: Distinct audit practices in countries like Switzerland, Germany, and Italy, showcasing a range of approaches from trust-based to more bureaucratic methods.Future Trends in VAT: Increasing digitalization is anticipated to simplify audit processes and compliance but may also bring challenges related to data privacy and system integration.Quotables"You have to take states by the hand and say, okay, now let's first question, what do you want to do? These are the facts. Let's go to the right side or to the left side. Yes. Let's say yes, let's say no, because it will be difficult for them to decide. So you have to take their hand and guide them through.” -Florian Hanslik [00:49]"What I really like here in Switzerland is that the tax authorities talk about their clients when they talk about the companies they have to audit. And it's really a client system. They don't want to act mean. They want to ensure that going forward it will be done correctly.” -Florian Hanslik [18:46]ConnectSubscribe on your favorite podcast app here.Follow us on LinkedIn and YouTube.Talk to a Tax Advocate Today!

In this episode, we'll discuss two main topics: the new Apple Vision Pro hardware and the changes coming to the App Store. We start by diving into the new EU Court rulings regarding Apple's monopoly and the requirement for allowing third-party app stores on iOS devices. Apple has made this confusing intentionally, and there are new terms and conditions that developers have to agree to, which involves giving Apple money for doing nothing. This move has raised concerns about security and privacy issues.Moving on to the US side, changes are coming to the App Store. Apple now allows linking outside the App Store to other payment methods, but developers must still agree to new rules and conditions and pay Apple for this privilege. The complexity of these changes is causing confusion and frustration among developers.Next, we shift our focus to the Apple Vision Pro hardware. The device has finally shipped, and initial impressions.Please leave a review and show your supporthttps://lovethepodcast.com/compileswiftYou can also show your support by buying me a coffeehttps://peterwitham.com/bmcFollow me on Mastodon@Compileswift@iosdev.space Thanks to our monthly supporters Arclite ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, Tony Chen takes a macroscopic look at the aquaculture industry, analyzing two critical reports that highlight contrasting global trends. The episode contrasts Rabobank's optimistic 2024 forecast for significant growth in key aquaculture species with the EU Court of Auditors' report, which reveals stagnation in European aquaculture despite substantial investment. Tony explores the underlying reasons for these divergent trends, discussing the broader implications for global aquaculture growth, with a focus on the challenges of market prices, feed costs, and disease prevention. This episode offers listeners an in-depth understanding of the complexities and challenges facing the aquaculture industry today. Let's dive in!

Tax havens have perfected the art of offering services that bypass laws and regulations in other countries. The lack of transparency regarding the ownership of shell companies and trusts, and what goes on within them, has made tax havens a useful tool for everything from tax evasion to corruption, money laundering, and terrorist financing.The demand for greater transparency in ownership within tax havens has therefore been at the core of efforts by governments and civil society organizations to combat these harmful activities – a battle in which transparency advocates seemed to be constantly winning new victories, and where greater openness was being pushed through in more and more countries. But in November of last year, things took a turn.After several years of continuous progress in establishing public registries of the actual owners of a company, a ruling from the EU Court of Justice last year was described as a massive setback in the fight for transparency.This interview is an exerpt from an episode of the Norwegian podcast “Pengeland”. In this interview we speak with Maira Martini, who will provide us with a deeper understanding of this issue. She leads the work on transparency solutions at the global secretariat of Transparency International and is among the leading experts in Europe in her field.The hosts for this episode are Peter Ringstad and Julie Brun Bjørkheim.Mixing and music by Kristoffer Lislegaard.

In this episode of S&C's Critical Insights, Juan Rodriguez, Co-Head of S&C's European Competition Group and the Firm's Antitrust Group, and associate Marielena Doeding discuss the European Court of Justice's ruling in the Fiat case and its implication for future state aid investigations. This landmark judgment—in which the Court of Justice annulled a General Court judgment and European Commission decision –clarified the parameters under which the Commission may investigate individual tax rulings under state aid rules. Although the judgment reaffirms that the Commission may investigate tax measures for compliance with state aid rules, in doing so, it cannot apply its own version of the arm's length principle to tax measures; in particular, it cannot apply the arm's length principle to tax measures in jurisdictions unless – and then only to the extent that – the law of the jurisdiction incorporates that principle. Instead, the Commission must carefully consider national tax rules to assess whether or not a measure confers a selective advantage for state aid purposes. Sullivan & Cromwell represented Fiat in this litigation.
Alasdair speaks to Professor Mike Norton, Environment Programme Director at the European Academies Science Advisory Council, about newly published research on neonicotinoid pesticides. In 2013, the European Commission severely restricted the use of several 'neonics' due to emerging research showing they had wide ranging harfmul environmental impacts on insect populations and ecosystems. But last month, the European Court of Justice ruled that Belgium had abused emergency authorisations to continue using them. Many Member States have similiarly authorised their continued usage since 2013, and the EU is now considering stricter legislation to prohibit the substances.

The US-EU Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, announced in March of this year, is a new agreement governing trans-Atlantic data flows between the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) – specifically data flows from EU countries to the U.S. that contain personal information of EU residents. The new framework is intended to replace the previous Privacy Shield Framework, which the EU Court of Justice found did not provide adequate protection of privacy, as required by the General Data Protection Regulation and other law.In this podcast, experts discuss whether the new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework effectively addresses the concerns of the EU Court of Justice providing for a solid legal basis for future Trans-Atlantic data transfers.Featuring:Stewart Baker, Partner, Steptoe & Johnson LLPTheodore Christakis, Professor of International and European Law, University Grenoble AlpesPeter Swire, Elizabeth and Tommy Holder Chair, Scheller College of Business, Georgia Institute of Technology[Moderator] Paul Rosenzweig, Professorial Lecturer in Law, The George Washington UniversityVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.
In the US, the Department of Justice's drawn-out criminal prosecution of chicken suppliers over cartel claims has come to an end — again. The acquittal of five industry executives marks the third time that the DOJ has prosecuted the men — a defeat that may prove damaging not just to the reputation of the DOJ's antitrust division, but also to its ability to encourage whistleblowers to come forward in exchange for immunity deals. But this isn't the end of the chicken price-fixing saga as prosecutors gear up for two more trials against other defendants in October and April. Also on the podcast: How an historic EU court ruling on Illumina-Grail deal is likely to boost the European Commission's confidence in tackling deals targeting smaller companies.
FOLLOW UP: VW LOSES TEMP CONTROL ENGINE SOFTWARE RULINGVolkswagen has been told by the EU Court of Justice that utilising software to protect engines outside a temperature range of 15 - 33 Celsius amounted to a defeat device, as below 15 Celsius is a normal temperature across Europe. This will, obviously, open the risk of more consumer class actions being taken against VW and possibly other manufacturers. For more, click the Reuters article here.

The European Union's top court ruled June 9 that British citizens living long-term in the 27 EU member countries have no right to vote or stand for office in the bloc unless they have obtained a European nationality. The ruling came in what was seen as a test case for the rights of U.K. citizens who continue to live in the EU despite Britain's exit from the bloc two years ago. More than 1 million Britons were living in Europe. Many opposed Brexit in January 2020 and had their lives upended. The case was first launched in France by a British woman who has lived there for more than three decades but was struck off the electoral roll after Brexit and couldn't vote in local elections in March 2020. She had declined to apply for French nationality. The woman, identified only by her initials E.P. in line with court practice, argues that she was deprived of her right to vote in the EU, and also in the U.K. owing to a rule there that prevents people from voting if they've lived abroad for more than 15 years. But the European Court of Justice ruled that people living in Europe even prior to Brexit “no longer enjoy the status of citizen of the Union, nor, more specifically, the right to vote and to stand as a candidate in municipal elections in their Member State of residence,” according to a court statement. The Luxembourg-based court said that “this is an automatic consequence of the sole sovereign decision taken by the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.
Comprehensive Sickness Insurance continues to hang over the heads of many EU citizens who, over the years, were told that they needed private health coverage for their residence in the UK to be lawful. The UK government's insistence on this was always legally controversial, but it took until after Brexit for the EU Court of Justice to rule (in a case referred to it just before the UK's departure) that CSI was not in fact required. What are the implications of the ruling for EU citizens affected by the supposed CSI rule over the years? People were denied benefits, British citizenship and even protection against criminal deportation — not to...

The online video platform YouTube has won a battle over copyright in a top EU court. The ruling said online platforms are not liable for users uploading unauthorised works, unless the platforms fail to take quick action to remove or block the content. Nina O'Sullivan is an intellectual property lawyer at Mishcon de Reya, and explains what the ruling actually means for the firm. And we get further reaction from Sam Jones and Max Pardsley, who run the NitPix video channel, which parodies and reviews TV shows and movies. Also in the programme, whilst you might expect that the surge in home deliveries over the past 18 months would be a boost to cardboard firms supplying online retailers, Miles Roberts, chief executive of cardboard firm DS Smith tells us why profits at the business are down. Plus, the BBC's Ed Butler asks whether medicine is about to be transformed by digitisation and artificial intelligence.

Our interview this week is a deep dive into the mess created by the EU Court of Justice in Schrems II—and some pretty good ideas for how companies might avoid the mess as proposed in a U.S. Government white paper. I interview Brad Wiegmann, Senior Counselor for the National Security Division at the U.S. Department of Justice. We cover a host of arguments and new facts that may help companies navigate the wreckage of Privacy Shield and preserve the standard corporate clauses they've relied on for trans-Atlantic data transfers. And, yes, the phrase “hypocritical European imperialism” does cross my lips. In the news, we can't let election eve pass without a look at all the election security threats and countermeasures now being deployed. I argue that the election security threat is the second coming of Y2K – a threat that is almost certainly an overhyped bogeyman, but one we can't afford to ignore. Jamil Jaffer and Pete Jeydel push back. Silicon Valley's effort to ensure that no one questions the legitimacy of a Biden victory also comes in for some criticism on my end—and is defended by Nate Jones. My candidate for flakiest Silicon Valley technonostrum is banning post-election political ads. That just guarantees that speech about the election will default to the biggest “organic” voices on the internet and to the speech police at each platform. Confused about all the TikTok and WeChat litigation? The cheat sheet guide is that the U.S. hasn't won a single case, and it's gone down hard in three separate opinions, the latest by U.S. District Judge Beetlestone of Philadelphia. This could be Trump Derangement at work, but the fact is that the Chinese platforms have a plausible argument that Congress prohibited IEEPA bans that indirectly regulate distribution of speech. Banning a social platform might seem to fit that exception, but the result is crazy: it implies that TikTok could replay all the Russian election interference memes from 2016, and the government would be helpless to stop it. On appeal, we may see the courts taking a broader view of the equities. Or they may be tempted to say, “Well, Congress screwed this up, let Congress unscrew it.” If Joe Biden wins the election, I can't imagine an issue he'd most want to keep off his plate. Nate and I try to sum up what we learned from the social media speech suppression hearing on the Hill. Nate sees no common ground emerging despite wide unhappiness with Silicon Valley's role in regulating speech. I am more optimistic that a Congress looking to make progress could agree on first steps toward transparency in speech suppression practices on the platforms. The companies themselves seem to have decided that this is table stakes as they strive to avoid worse. Nate gives us a quick view of the platform speech debate in Europe. My summary: Silicon Valley is already incentivized by EU law to over-suppress; now they're asking for immunity when they over-suppress, which means, of course, even less speech. In quick hits, Pete talks about the ransomware threat to US health care. Nate explains the tensions between law enforcement and intelligence in Canada. And Pete tells us why fertility clinics are the latest national security concern for CFIUS. And more!

Such an interference with fundamental rights must be accompanied by effective safeguards and be reviewed by a court or by an independent administrative authority.Per combattere il crimine e difendere la sciurezza pubblica si possono prevedere raccolte mirate purche' vi siano misure di sicurezza effettive controllate da giudici o autorità indipendenti.^Likewise, it is open to a Member State to carry out a general and indiscriminate retention of IP addresses assigned to the source of a communication where the retention period is limited to what is strictly necessary, or even to carry out a general and indiscriminate retention of data relating to the civil identity of users of means of electronic communication, and in the latter case the retention is not subject to a specific time limit.Similmente, uno Stato puo' raccogliere indiscriminatamente dati di massa su identità degli utenti e dei mezzi di comunicazione, e in tal caso senza limiti di tempo.
Since the EU Court of Justice's landmark decision on beneficial ownership in February 2019, tax authorities across Europe have been substantially gearing up tax audits in this space. European withholding tax exemptions are not available if the beneficial owner of the income is not a qualifying European company. As withholding tax challenges are often very material, our podcast will share the current legislative state of play, how tax authorities are auditing beneficial ownership and what you as a taxpayer can do to defend your tax positions prior to an audit.
Daniel J. Solove is the John Marshall Harlan Research Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School. He is also the founder of TeachPrivacy, a privacy and cybersecurity training company. Professor Solove provided one of the inaugural podcasts of the ADCG series and discussed the current privacy landscape including the CCPA, the EU GDPR, and the EU Court of Justice decision invalidating the US Privacy Shield. Against this backdrop, Prof. Solove discussed whether a federal privacy law is more likely now than in the past and, if so, what such a law might cover and how close it might get to the GDPR or the CCPA. In this discussion, Prof. Solove also discusses the American Law Institute (ALI) Principles of Data Privacy, which propose comprehensive privacy principles for legislation that are consistent with key foundations in the U.S. approach to privacy, but also better align the U.S. with the EU. The Principles will likely be influential in future policy discussions, especially with respect to notice and choice. Finally, the podcast explores with Prof. Solove potential stumbling blocks that are likely to be encountered in discussions regarding a federal privacy law.
Jim Dempsey is the Executive Director, Berkeley Center for Law and Technology and formerly held leadership roles at the Center for Democracy and Technology. Jim Dempsey provided one of the inaugural podcasts of the ADCG series and discussed the lengthy and unsuccessful attempts to enact a federal privacy law. In light of the EU GDPR, California’s passage of the CCPA, and the EU Court of Justice invalidating the US Privacy Shield, he ponders whether the U.S. needs a federal privacy law and what that might look like. The discussion covers likely stumbling blocks to a federal privacy law, such as preemption of state law and a private right of action, similar to that provided in the CCPA. As a professor of cybersecurity issues at UC Berkeley, Jim also explores the potential cybersecurity aspects of privacy legislation and the role cybersecurity requirements have played in breach notification laws.
Can Facebook or Google really promise to keep your data private in this era of mass surveillance by the likes of the NSA and GCHQ? Max Schrems doesn't think so, and he's convinced the EU Court of Justice of the same thing. There's no way to protect user data when intelligence agencies are hoovering up all our communications and storing them on massive server farms forever. In part 2 of my chat with EFF's Danny O'Brien, we'll talk about the two Shrems cases in the EU and what the recent ruling against Privacy Shield will mean for all of us. Danny O'Brien has been an activist for online free speech and privacy for over 20 years. In his home country of the UK, he fought against repressive anti-encryption law, and helped found the Open Rights Group, Britain's own digital rights organization. He was EFF's activist from 2005 to 2007, its international outreach coordinator from 2007-2009, and international director from 2013-2019. He now supervises EFF's medium and long-term strategy, with an eye to maintaining the organization's global impact and reputation.

Privacy is like driving a car - lots of rules which change across borders and you need to look both ways before crossing the street. In both the US and EU, the Schrems-II decision on 16 July is a major development in data protection navigation. But we are just at the beginning of understanding all the consequences of the verdict of the EU Court of Justice. Don’t worry - also in the coming weeks, we’ve got you covered. #SeriousPrivacy will keep you posted on important developments and views. In this episode, Paul Breitbarth and K Royal speak with Professor Dan Solove with the George Washington University Law School, a renowned educator in both privacy and data security legislation, an internationally-known expert and a prolific writer of books and articles on these topics. He certainly has an opinion of what happens next in transatlantic data relations and intra-US with the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Join us as we discuss the implications of Schrems-II, the CPRA, privacy legislation and enforcement, and developments in this space. For example, the CPRA now faces opposition from a coalition led by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of California. In addition, we discuss Prof. Solove’s views over the past few decades of the advance of the privacy field and what he hopes to see in the coming years.ResourcesACLU Announcement on Twitter: https://twitter.com/snowjake/status/1285732381387882501Privacy Paradox paper https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3536265Clapper v Amnesty https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/11-1025_ihdj.pdfSchrems Blog Post https://teachprivacy.com/schrems-ii-reflections-on-the-decision-and-next-steps/ TrustArc free resource page https://trustarc.com/trustarcs-privacy-shield-schrems-resource/TeachPrivacy https://teachprivacy.com/Social MediaTwitter: @GWlaw @danielsolove @euroPaulB @heartofprivacy @podcastprivacy @trustarc @teachprivacy

The Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) — the judicial branch of the European Union— ruled on September 24 that the so-called right to be forgotten law, which took effect in Europe in 2014, only applies in the bloc’s 28 member states — and not globally. The ECJ’s statement read: “The Court concludes that, currently, there is no obligation under EU law, for a search engine operator who grants a request for de-referencing made by a data subject, as the case may be ... to carry out such a de-referencing on all the versions of its search engine.” Read the article here!

What will happen to the European Union judiciary after Brexit? Eleanor Sharpston QC is a British member of the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg. She argues it’s in the interests of both the UK and the EU for British judges to remain at the EU Court after Brexit - at least during a transitional period - because the UK will still be affected by its rulings. Also this week: transparency in the courts. When judges make decisions on sensitive personal and family issues, should their courts be open to all? Or does reporting put justice at risk? Joshua Rozenberg shines a light on this darker corner of the law. Producer: Neil Koenig

An extradition case at the EU’s highest court shows growing legal uncertainty about the UK’s relationship with the EU, even before it leaves the bloc next March. The EU Court of Justice is considering whether to block the UK’s use of the European Arrest Warrant, on the grounds that suspects’ EU rights may not be guaranteed after Brexit. Brussels reporter Mike Acton and news editor Sam Wilkin discuss.
In a special episode this week, we feature interviews from both sides of the Catalan independence debate ahead of the Catalan regional government's referendum, planned for Sunday. Ryan Heath interviews Jorge Toledo Albiñana, Spain's secretary of state for European affairs, who makes the case for Spanish unity, as well as Amadeu Altafaj, the Catalan government's representative to the EU, who accuses Madrid of using repressive tactics that breach EU law. Ryan also speaks to POLITICO Europe's managing editor, Stephen Brown, about the challenges of covering a passionate debate where there appears to be little scope for a negotiated compromise. Independence 'is not going to happen,' says Toledo. In response, Altafaj said: "That short quote is very telling. It says a lot about the problem. Basically, this is a political challenge and it should be addressed through politics and it's being addressed by all means: the judiciary, the police forces, and undercover operations, etcetera, but not through politics." Toledo rejects the idea that "a part of Spain decides on its own what the whole of Spain is." 'Evil illegal act:' That's how Toledo describes the referendum, claiming Madrid has been acting "very moderately" to prevent the vote. Their efforts have included judicial investigations into hundreds of Catalan officials, as well as bans on pamphlets and websites promoting the referendum. Barcelona remains open to discussion: While the rhetoric of independence campaigners suggests they'll let nothing stop them from reaching their ultimate goal, Altafaj insisted there is room for negotiation. “We are open to discussion and until the very last minute before the referendum on Sunday,” he said. Madrid likens its fight to JFK's on civil rights: Toledo used an interesting analogy to describe Madrid's situation, comparing it to how the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy dealt with state officials who refused to comply with a Supreme Court ruling against segregation. "You can disagree with the law. You can change the law. But you cannot not apply the law because you think it is not fit to your purposes," said Toledo. Altafaj, meanwhile, criticized Madrid's tactics as a "black and white, passionate macho Latino approach," adding that with a different approach by the Spanish government, "most of the tensions could have been diffused years ago." Both sides said that while tensions are running high, violence is not expected. Altafaj noted there have been six years of "huge demonstrations with more than 1 million people on the street and never a single incident." Also this week, our podcast panel discusses the difficulties posed by the results of the German election. Angela Merkel came in first, but can't be described as a clear winner. She faces limited coalition government options and must also contend with the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany. And finally, Dear POLITICO discusses EU Court confusion: What do you do when an esteemed British journalist can't tell the difference between the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg? Lina Aburous and Ailbhe Finn explain what they'd do.
Coinciding the parliamentary vote in the House of Commons, this ‘Lincoln Leads’ discussion considers the future of Britain post-Brexit. Our panel include Lord Lisvane, the leading expert on parliamentary democracy and former Clerk of the House of Commons (2011-2014). He currently sits in the House of Lords as a crossbench parliamentarian. Lord Lisvane was one of the first to call for parliamentary approval for Brexit and suggested a second referendum was needed in July. Joining him is Graham Child (Visiting Fellow in Law), who served as a practicing solicitor and partner at Slaughter & May, where he negotiated and advised on contracts from an EU law point of view and was involved with litigation before the EU Court and Commission. Finally we welcome current student Daniel Kozelko (Bachelor of Civil Law) who discusses the implication of Brexit for the doctrine of subsidiarity, and the prospective response of other supra-national legal bodies to the UK including the European Court of Human Rights and the Council of Europe. 'Lincoln Leads' is a seminar series designed to foster conversation between Lincoln's common rooms and alumni, as well as to showcase the exceptional research taking place in the College.

Formal Brexit negotiations have just begun, and already Brussels and London are expressing "fundamental divergence" over the role of the EU Court of Justice in policing citizens' rights in Britain after it leaves the bloc. MLex’s Brexit Correspondent Matthew Holehouse and London Managing Editor Ana Rita Rego discuss this early row, and examine several clues that suggest Britain may be looking to mimic elements of the EFTA Court to break the impasse.

Stuart Miller talks to Steve Hyland about International Trade After Brexit, how businesses can prepare for the months ahead post March 2017, what you should be aware of and why you should start planning now to minimise any potential disruption to your businesses trading position. International Trade After Brexit What are the starting positions of the UK & EU? What are the major constraints? What will be the sequencing of the negotiation? Will we get a “Free Trade Agreement” with the EU in 2 years (by March 2019)? What is the likelihood instead of moving to WTO rules – and does it matter?

Reconcile any transitional arrangements with the stated aim of getting out of the jurisdiction of the EU Court of Justice (ECJ)? Address some kind of associate membership (say like Turkey?) Cover UK citizens’ rights in the EU? Ensure we have enough manpower in the food industry, universities and financial services (lots of EU citizens now in the UK)? Prevent a hard border in Ireland which might affect Northern Ireland’s (trading and other) progress?
