Summary

On 14 March 2019 the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) hosted a symposium to discuss the potential implications of Brexit. The aim of this event was to provide informed commentary on issues within the ongoing Brexit process (whatever they may be). Programme: Session 1: Free Movement of Persons and Establishment What are the consequences of the Brexit process for the immediate and future rights of EU citizens within the UK and UK citizens travelling to or working within the EU. This would cover both the right to work, the right to be self-employed, and the rights of those not in employment. Chair: John Bell Martin Steinfeld (University of Cambridge) Eleanor Spaventa (Bocconi University, Italy) Session 2: External Relations What is the effect of the Brexit process on the UK’s ability to conclude trade agreements? What are the potential frameworks within which these might be developed? Chair: Geoffrey Edwards (POLIS) Markus Gehring (University of Cambridge) Georges Baur (Liechtenstein Institute, Formerly EFTA) Session 3: Goods and Services What is the effect of present and proposed arrangements on the free movement of goods and services? How far are the UK and EU markets to be segmented and how will this affect trading across borders, notably that in Northern Ireland? Chair: Stephen Weatherill (University of Oxford) Laurence Gormley (University of Groningen) Gareth Davies (Vrije University, Amsterdam) Session 4: Competition Law How will the substantive rules and procedures on competition law and state aids be affected by the Brexit process in the short and medium term? Chair: Albertina Albors-Llorens (University of Cambridge) Oke Odudu (University of Cambridge) Tim Ward (Monckton Chambers)

0:00.0	Thank you very much.
0:05.0	A little taken aback to see Lawrence concluding by suggesting the royal family take out a hit on the Prime Minister.
0:11.0	In these surreal times, frankly, it doesn't even seem the strangest possibility going around.
0:19.0	I just hope there's nobody in the room from the Daily Mail. It seems unlikely this university.
0:24.6	Anyway, it's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for allowing me to be here to talk about the subject.
0:30.6	We were actually asked to talk about the impact of the proposed arrangements.
0:34.6	Which proposed arrangements? That is the question. It was like, which proposed arrangements?
0:38.3	That is the question.
0:44.6	It is strange to have a situation where one genuinely has no idea of what the legal situation made in two days or two weeks or two months or two years or two decades, right?
0:49.0	Because almost any direction is quite imaginable.
0:53.0	So all I did was pick a few possible scenarios
0:56.5	and consider some indications of them for trade.
1:00.6	And those three are Norway, as they like to call it in this country,
1:04.8	and Mays deal and a no deal.
1:07.1	And I've just got some remarks on them
1:08.8	and they've given them an excuse to explore some issues.
1:12.2	I mean, Norway, Norway seems dead, and now it's come back to life.
1:16.7	And that does seem to a bit of the theme of the whole Brexit process, doesn't it?
1:19.7	In a way, it was mentioned enthusiastically in a little desperation just after the vote,
1:25.1	and then it seemed completely impossible.
1:28.7	And in some ways, it is, of course, a betrayal of the vote. For an EU lawyer, you think, ah, you're practically in. But at the
1:34.0	same time, why did people vote? I don't think people voted because they were unhappy with the
