1/ A few clips from Wednesday's #DExEU select committee. Some fascinating insights provided from Chris Bondy, Dr Lorand Bartels and William Swords. Full session here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/6f… @SamuelMarcLowe @Lorand_Bartels
2/ 'I've heard many people say, well it's (negotiating an FTA with the EU) going to be easy because we are harmonised, well that's day one but what about day two? What about day ten?' Christophe Bondy or either on the EU bus (or sidecar, Norway) or not at all! #DExEU
3/ 'If the UK come in and say we want that benefit (audio etc), the MFN element investment & services chapter of CETA will kick back in and you have to give it (the benefit) to Canada.' Christophe Bondy. Same point @SamuelMarcLowe made on the @BBCWorldatOne last week *I think*.
4/ 'With an FTA you have regulatory autonomy but you have borders...' Christophe Bondy. So using CETA as a possible template isn't going to work for the NI/IRE? Mind you I'm not sure the Norway option necessarily resolves this issue too.
5/ This is just so funny...I think the silence is very telling here. @SamuelMarcLowe @hhesterm @AllieRenison @IanaDreyer @StevePeers @Lorand_Bartels #DExEU
6/ And @Lorand_Bartels has a courageous crack at filling that long silence. Bravo sir... #DExEU
