Monckton-Faculty of Law Webinar Series on EU Relations Law: 'The UK Internal Market'

The Centre for European Legal Studies is partnering with Monckton Chambers for the 'Monckton-Faculty of Law Webinar Series on EU Relations Law'.

Leaving the EU internal market has been a clear domestic policy priority of the UK Government albeit one that has encountered political resistance among the constituent nations of the UK. More directly, the repatriation of regulatory powers to the UK also entails an enhanced role for the devolved governments in the elaboration of domestic regulatory policies. However, the risk that regulatory divergence within the UK might create friction in internal trade in goods and services has prompted the UK Government to propose enshrining a Market Access Commitment in UK law. This webinar explores the thinking behind the UK Government’s proposals for a UK Internal Market and how its squares with the responsibilities and ambitions of the devolved governments.
