I am actually pro-EU generally, but I do think the handling of the whole EU/US could have been better. I do realise that this is the first example of the EU as a whole negotiating bilaterals, but there are certainly lessons to be learned going forward.
On this particular issue, I do think we need clarification from the EU as to what happens if the named countries follow the EU's line and revoke their bilaterals. That's not made clear.
Also, they held us back for a year while insisting on cabotage, which most people knew was not a runner. And yet, while they imposed a condition which wasn't going to work and held everything up, they objected to what would have been a tiny realignment (by the Irish), which would have allowed more nonstops from Dublin.
Hopefully, Barrot will be able to come closer to a deal on Monday.
