Dehousse, Franklin (2017) The House of Lords’ report on the “Brexit bill” : an extremely dangerous development for the coming negotiation. Egmont Commentary, 7 March 2017. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
On 4 March 2017, the House of Lords made public a new report about the so-called “brexit bill” – i.e. the final contribution that the United Kingdom should make to the EU budget to honour its previous budgetary commitments before leaving. It is, as usual, a very good technical document. The most important element is an advice from the legal adviser of the European Union Committee that concludes quite drastically that the UK should pay nothing to the EU budget if there is no exit agreement with the other 27 Member States.
