Latvijas Vēstneša intervija ar Vitu Matīsu par ES. Daudz aktuālu punktu “post-Brexit” diskusijai:  intervija Latvijas Vēstnesī

Starptautiskās Eiropas Kustības veidots pārskats saistībā ar Lisabonas 50 pantu, kas regulē izstāšanos no ES:

Brexit: The Withdrawl Process – Lisbon Treaty Article 50The Lisbon Treaty Article 50 both outlines how Britain’s withdrawal process will work and, implicitly, why that process is disadvantageous to the leaving country. After the announcement of the referendum result, EU leaders stated that there is no ‘Plan B’ to the EU-UK draft deal, which is now officially obsolete, and that there will be no renegotiated agreement to stay in the EU*: With that in mind the below points look at the formula espoused by Article 50, and the implications this might imply: Article 50 Negotiations would involve the 27 remaining Member States, the Commission and the UK. A withdrawal agreement would need the consent of the European Parliament and agreement of the Council. The UK would need to negotiate a withdrawal and post-exit arrangement with the EU within two years. After two years the negotiation period can be extended only by unanimous agreement among the 27 Members States – any Member State can veto the extension. The EU treaties continue to apply to the departing Member State until a withdrawal agreement has entered into force or the formal negotiation process ends. Implications Based on completed comprehensive trade treaty negotiations it is unlikely that two years will suffice for the negotiation. The EU-South Korea negotiations lasted 3-4 years, the EU-Mexico deal took over four years and the EU-Canada negotiations took 5-6 years. Thus the UK will be at the mercy of EU Member States voting to extend the negotiation period. If the UK does not have a new agreement in place after two years and there is no extension of negotiations the UK will leave the EU with no preferential trade agreement. This means it reverts to the WTO’s Most Favored Nation rules and standards, which in most models signifies a massive economic cost to the UK and represents the worst-case scenario.It is worth keeping in mind that France and Germany face national elections between April-October 2017 during which time negotiations would likely stall or be less productive. Furthermore, a new agreement on trade and wider co-operation would require approval by each 27 Member States alongside the EU. This could require ratification by some national parliaments, further delaying the process and would give each Member State another opportunity to block the agreement for any reason. As a result of the EU’s ability to veto any extension in negotiations and the deal needing unanimous agreement in the Council – opening up the possibility that any given Member State may try to block the deal in order to extract a higher price for agreeing to any element of the agreement – the UK will be in a far weaker negotiation position. During negotiations the UK’s ability to negotiate and conclude new trade agreements with countries outside the EU will be constrained due to the uncertainty involved. Also many potential trade partners such as the USA are already negotiating with the EU and have already stated that a separate trade deal with the UK will not be available. This uncertainty, which the UK government has said could last up to ten years, could have an impact on financial markets, investments, and the value of the pound which will affect employment and the wider economy. A HSBC report estimates that the pound would drop by 20%. Renewing Membership: no advantages for the UK According to the recent UK government report on the consequences of Brexit, renewed membership with the EU “would be highly unlikely to replicate our [Britain’s] current special status, affecting the: Rebate on payments to the EU budget Opt outs from the Euro and Schengen border free area Right to choose which Justice and Home Affairs arrangements to join” As such, the UK is faced with a plethora of difficult circumstances and choices after the vote to leave the EU. *Based on past EU negotiations and breaches of agreements and use of informal mechanisms such as trilogies, it is not impossible that withdrawal or remain negotaitions could happen outside of the Article 50 framework. However, it seems very likely that negotiations will happen under the Article 50 framework as there is almost no incentive for the EU to take any other route and such an agreement would need the support of all Member States.
