A Level Playing Field for EU-UK Economic Relations: Monckton-CELS webinar

Описание: The Centre for European Legal Studies is partnering with Monckton Chambers for the 'Monckton-Faculty of Law Webinar Series on EU Relations Law'.

For both the EU and the UK, protection of their autonomy has defined the terms of their mandates for the negotiations. For the EU, protecting its autonomy means that a zero quotas and zero tariffs free trade agreement gives the UK significant market access that exposes it to potentially unfair competition from the UK unless the UK agrees to abide by level playing field requirements. For the UK, protection of its autonomy means that the UK should be free to define its own regulatory policy and the role of the state in the economy. But it is not just public intervention in the market that is in issue. Brexit will see the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority develop its mandate across its anti-trust and mergers jurisdiction while also potentially acquiring a new state aid control function. In this webinar, we explore how potential distortions to competition will be manage in the new EU relations legal framework.
