and adam fleming is at the european court ofjustice in luxembourg. fore the government can even start negotiating this with the eu? yes, and we are outside a court, so let's look at it in a legal way. first, the case for optimism. i spoke to a judge who used to work here at the european court of justice, who welcome the paper from the uk, saying that it showed that they were realistic about the fact that this place may continue to have some kind of indirect influence in british life, even after brexit. there is also evidence that the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, is willing to compromise. he has already offered the idea of a joint committee, made up of people from both sides, who would harm about disagreements arising from the brexit deal. reading the british paper today, that looks like something which could be palatable to the british government. so that is the case for optimism. the case for pessimism. there will be another round of talks in brussels next week, and top of the agenda will be this issue of eu citizens was no rights in the uk

the european commission wants the court in luxembourg to guarantee the rights of eu citizens in the uk brexit and to oversee the withdrawal agreement. but theresa may has said ending european control over british courts is a red line. ministers say they want a "special partnership" with the eu, but it is "neither necessary nor appropriate" for the ecj to police it. thejustice minister dominic raab said that both the uk and it's partners in europe would be keeping a close eye on what the other is doing. britain is leaving the eu, we are taking back control of our laws, that means ending the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, we have been crystal clear about that. at the same time, we do want to forge a positive, new partnership with our eu friends. one of the ways you protect and nurture that friendship is making sure you have a sensible mechanism to resolve international disputes, most likely some form of arbitration, and that is the way we can make sure our trade, security and other areas of cooperation with european partners will go from strength to strength. this resoluti

one of the things we thought we knew about life after we leave eu was that the european court ofjustice clear, we are not leaving the european union today to give up control of immigration again, and we're not leaving only to return to the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. so we will take back control of our laws and bring an end to thejurisdiction of the european court ofjustice in britain. we want to make sure that we are ending, that we are ending the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. for some brexiters it was enormously important that all of our laws should be written by our parliaments and they should be interpreted by our courts, including the supreme courts. that meant ending the role of the european court ofjustice. the ec] is the body that make sure eu law is evenly applied across the whole european union. it's a thing that turns the rights and responsibilities of the treaties, into reality. let's suppose after brexit that we sign a comprehensive free trade deal that lets european businesses trade freely in the uk and vice versa. the government's plan is

european court ofjustice.endent third countries. i think the likely outcome is that we will need some form of arbitration. the way that typically works is that the uk appoints an arbitrator, the eu appoints an arbitrator, the eu appoints one, they may agree to a third one, and between them they settle bones of contention. that is the kind of process that both sides can have trust and confidence in. that is what we are looking for, dispute settlement process which ironed out any creases and makes sure that ourfriendship ironed out any creases and makes sure that our friendship and a partnership on trade and security and other areas of cooperation can go from strength to strength. and other areas of cooperation can go from strength to strengthm sounds very long winded. how long do you think it will take to enshrine eu law into uk law? you can, as you say, in these disputes quickly, because that is the important part, isn‘t it? because that is the important part, isn't it? it is to make different things. the eu w

there has also been movement, welcome movement in the area of the authority of the european court of stice, and i think it is going to be arranged. there are also interesting noises about britain wanting to have a deep and special relationship with the european union, wanting to have also a special and deep relationship, a trade relationship with the eu. wanting to replicate the customs union and so on. the noises pointer a kind of membership of the single market but this also happens at the same time as the home office sending deportation letters to european citizens, so the studies of european citizens, so the studies of european citizens has not yet been sorted. and the european union and britain have not yet agreed about the process of the negotiations. the european union would like to start with finding a solution for the budget, and the status of european citizens and the irish border and the british government wants to negotiate the future of the relationship. this business of the irish border is interesting because one of the things that britain was talking about in that conte
