Das Brexit-Abkommen und Europarecht

This book analyses the legality of the Brexit agreement under European Union law. While the political debate has been highly publicised in recent months, a legal analysis was always lacking. This legal analysis deals with the interpretation and application of the draft withdrawal agreement, the ECJ’s responsibilities, EU citizenship for British citizens after Brexit, the framework within which British authorities can apply EU law, creating laws after Brexit as well as the law on movement of goods and customs. This monograph compares the agreement with other manifestations of integration and association throughout the European Union, and it deals with the ECJ’s jurisprudence extensively. Last but not least, it applies the agreement to the external economic law of the EU. Beyond Brexit, the monograph proposes a framework for the application of EU law by a non-member state.
