EU ultimatum to UK over Brexit plan in breach of international law

BBC, 11 Sep 2020
The European Union has issued an ultimatum to Boris Johnson’s government over its plans to override part of the Brexit withdrawal deal it signed up to, which would be in breach of international law.

The EU has called on the UK to abandon the plan or risk jeopardising talks on a future trade deal. Brussels said the threat by the UK had “seriously damaged trust” and raised the possibility of taking legal action.

However the UK said it would not withdraw the proposed legislation.
