I didn’t appreciate EU’s assent to the deal was provisional. Can’t see the EU Parliament not granting assent, but will allow them the opportunity to table amendments prior to full ratification.
Good to see the UK Parliament being given a full day to ratify, that will show those pesky Europeans how democracy should be done, I mean two months to analyse and debate a treaty? Pfft :)
‘What could turn out to be an important difference is that the UK Parliament will be giving the deal its full approval. In other words, no backsies.
The EU's approval is provisional and depends on full approval from the EU Parliament next year, probably at the end of February.
So if, in first 2 months of this deal's application, EU side thinks Johnson isn't living up to his word, they could refuse to give it full approval and we're back to no deal in March (provisional application expires 28 Feb).
But UK Parliament will have no such ability to cancel.’ @France24
