Bulletguy Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 UK forced to reopen sensitive Ukraine trade pact after errors in text UK has been forced to reopen its trade deal with Ukraine, one of its most sensitive post-Brexit agreements, after errors were found in the original text. The pact was signed by Johnson in October last year, and lauded as a key example of Britain’s post-Brexit trade and foreign policies. The agreement not only covers the commercial relationship between Britain and the eastern European country but also defence cooperation to support Kiev’s sovereignty. Underscoring the political importance of the agreement in October, Johnson said the UK was “Ukraine’s most fervent supporter”. He added: “Whether it’s our defence support, stabilisation efforts, humanitarian assistance or close cooperation on political issues, our message is clear: we are utterly committed to upholding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.” Some of the errors are a result of copying and pasting sections that bind the UK to EU rules, the same officials said. An EU official told The Independent they had noted that the agreement bound the UK to rules in some areas they had not expected it to. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-ukraine-brexit-trade-security-pact-b1884518.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Top voted comment in FT; Quote; It doesn't matter what Cummings motives are or whether the minutiae of his testimony is not 100% accurate. The messages on his, and other people's, phones and devices are the smoking gun. I haven't seen them, however if they are genuine, it moves Johnson from being a bumbling inadequate into the realms of a being a complete ruthless psycho. One prepared to countenance the premature deaths of huge numbers of people because of his libertarian instincts and wilful ignorance. Johnson is dreadful. He can't be gone too soon. Sadly his latest grand foul up has yet to play out and will quite probably lead to lots more deaths and people suffering with long Covid. I cannot adequately express my contempt for him and the supplicants who keep him in office. Kane Clements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletguy Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 We already know this government didn't read it's own Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the EU, we know it didn't read the NI Protocol and now it looks like they don't read trade agreements in general, effectively cancelling any possible Brexit benefit whilst retaining all the disadvantages. Ringmaster Johnson and his Circus of clowns. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
