The relief on the EU side at the conclusion of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) that settled the question of the UK’s relationship with the EU, combined with fatigue from protracted nature of the negotiations, means the government will have to make it worthwhile for the EU, if it is to persuade it to negotiate new measures. [...] Beyond the UK’s attempts to bypass the EU negotiator, distrust on the EU side, including among the UK closest allies in the EU, Denmark and the Netherlands, deepened when the UK failed to implement the Northern Ireland Protocol and then attempted, through the UK Internal Market Bill, to acquire ministerial powers that would effectively enable the government to override key provisions of the Protoc. [...] Catherine Barnard and Fiona Costello examine the operation of the EU settlement scheme, which was designed to ensure the processing of the rights of EU citizens and their families to live and work, and have access to the NHS, in the UK following the UK’s departure from the EU. [...] Sarah Hall considers how the two sides have approached the handling of the trade border between the UK and the EU created by the UK’s departure from the EU, the delays on the UK side, and the key trade-off facing the new government if it wants to reduce the red tape for UK exporters. [...] (French national) One of the achievements of the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) was to ensure that for the approximately six million EU nationals living in the UK and the approximately 1.2 million UK citizens living in the EU, the right to live and to work would be protected broadly as if the UK had not left the EU.
