Brussels is set to seek assurances today in an “extraordinary meeting” over Government plans to override Withdrawal Agreement, as the EU considers legal action.
Emergency talks will take place this afternoon between Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove and the European Commission’s Vice President Maros Sefcovic amid concerns over the Internal Market Bill.
Arriving in London on Thursday, Mr Sefcovic said: Yesterday I called for an extraordinary meeting of the joint committee which is going to take place in a couple of hours.
“I came here to express serious concerns the European Union has over the proposed deal. That will be the matter of our discussion today.
The bloc believes it may be able to mount a challenge before the Government manages to pass legislation which changes part of the deal struck last year relating to Northern Ireland, which ministers admit does breach international law in a “very specific and limited way.”
According to Bloomberg, a draft working paper prepared by Brussels and circulated to member states warns that the UK Internal Market Bill represents a clear breach of the agreement which would open the way to legal remedies. 
It adds that once the transition period ends, the EU could also trigger the dispute settlement mechanism contained in the deal, which could ultimately result in the UK being hit with financial sanctions.
