2/5 The arbitration panel can already, under Article 178 WA, give UK the right to a proportionate suspension of its obligations under the backstop, as a last resort, if EU breaches its best endeavours/good faith obligations to negotiate alternative solutions.
3/5 EU ready to give legal force to all commitments from January letter of @eucopresident and @JunckerEU through joint interpretative statement. https://europa.eu/!Kj44wR This will render best endeavour/good faith obligations even more actionable by an arbitration panel.
4/5 EU commits to give UK the option to exit the Single Customs Territory unilaterally, while the other elements of the backstop must be maintained to avoid a hard border. UK will not be forced into customs union against its will.
5/5 The EU will continue working intensively over the coming days to ensure that the UK leaves the EU with an agreement.
This is very reasonable. An arbitration panel to allow UK to appeal the send of Backstop (if it is ever used). Very, very, very reasonable.
Not reasonable to those who just want no deal.
Very, very, very reasonable.
Now define best endeavours & good faith on a measurable scale. Both are subjective terms, without any objective measurable methodology they are worthless cliches.
They are actually well understood legal terms. Both the UK government and the EU fully understand their obligations and responsibilities as a result of these being used.
