But at the moment the people doing that have FOM rights in the UK, so the employers only need to check they have EU citizenship, are entitled to employ them (indeed, cannot discriminate against them). But that would change after withdrawal (or at least after the transition period). Employers would essentially be forced to ensure compliance with whatever regime the UK authorities want to impose on prospective workers from EU27.

Under FOM rules any citizen of the EU27 can travel to IE to look for work. As you indicate, they will not have the *right* to look for work in the UK. However - unless I misunderstand - there is nothing physically to stop them crossing to the mainland, for the price of a bus and a ferry ticket. Is the inevitable result of this not likely to be a big upsurge in black employment in the mainland UK? Is the British govt not worried about this?<br />I would very much appreciate a short clarification.<br />Sincerely<br />Andrew Watt<br /><br /><br /> Andrew Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895247679426400640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704899696538705849.post-76875741101594817032018-12-07T06:03:56.572-08:002018-12-07T06:03:56.572-08:00Thanks!

Agreed revocation would mean that the EU *might* ask for something in return, although there are legal limits to what that could be, as the Protocols to the Treaties with UK opt-outs on the single currency, Schengen and justice and home affairs are binding unless the Treaties are amended. There's also the pragmatic point that asking the UK to give up something significant in order to remain (or leaving this issue vague) would reduce the odds of the Remain side winning a further referendum.

I have also read your arguments for and against revoking Article 50. <br /><br />Should the Wightman case be successful and Article 50 found to be fully revocable, does that mean a reversion to the UK's EU membership as it stood and as it still stands? <br /><br />Could the EU legally put stipulations on the UK's cancellation of Article 50 and essentially force a change to the terms of her EU membership, as Andrew Duff and others have suggested?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704899696538705849.post-83563424879397401452018-11-22T14:14:15.248-08:002018-11-22T14:14:15.248-08:00I was referring to the revocation of the notificat...I was referring to the revocation of the notification to leave (if that's possible), but rejoining the EU after Brexit is also possible (although perhaps not likely).Steve Peershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869161329197244113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704899696538705849.post-29038849351468812322018-11-22T14:11:22.500-08:002018-11-22T14:11:22.500-08:00Many thanks for theis overview.

Do you mean that the UK can reverse its withdrawal during the transition period and rejoin instead of leaving fully?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
