59.Im joint report published in December 2017, the UK and the EU largely agreed on the parameters of the citizens` rights agreement. These commitments were translated into a negotiating text after the march 2018 draft withdrawal agreement was published. The Version of the November 2018 Act has hardly been amended and is reproduced in its entirety in the most recent text. However, not all issues have been resolved in the manner desired by stakeholders. Article 26, paragraph 1, of the withdrawal agreement is clearly aimed at solving the problems posed by the politicization of the ECJ, the lack of impartiality, and dealing with them easily and quickly. 81.Nevertheless, the agreement on citizens` rights is quite comprehensive and will allow individuals and families to continue their lives and careers with minimal interruptions.

It urges the parties to “take all appropriate measures, general or specific, to ensure compliance with the obligations arising from this agreement and refrain from any action that could jeopardize the achievement of the objectives of this agreement.” It is important to pay tribute to the penetration of EU legislation as it has been incorporated into our law. The Product Responsibility Act is a good example: under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, which transposes Product Liability Directive 85/374/EEC, consumers who have been harmed by a defective product are not required to prove an “error”. There does not appear to have been any indication that this legislation was repealed by the withdrawal agreement.

Therefore, if I went to exeter County Court to sue the manufacturer of a defective toaster, I would invoke the interpretation of this legislation in the current decisions of the English Court of Justice and the ECJ as competent authorities. The agreement defines the goods, services and processes associated with them. Any provision of goods or services legally put on the market before leaving the EU may be made available to consumers in the UK or in the EU Member States (Article 40-41). On 15 November 2018, the day after the agreement and the support of the British government were presented, several members of the government resigned, including Dominic Raab, Secretary of State for leaving the European Union.
