Not one of the big [tech] platforms existed," he said, repeating several times during the call that Europe was "open, but sovereign."  The Frenchman also indicated that the Commission would seek to trigger an exemption to WTO rules to ensure the data proposals comply, but ruled out the EU changing its commitments."   Will they when/if it ever gets beyond the draft stage?  The article seems to suggest the answer is "no"   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The people of Sunderland were promised by all the leave campaigns that Brexit would never lead to Nissan leaving the UK, and any notion of that happening was "Project Fear".  You can't accurately assess the pros and cons if you are deliberately lied to in regard to them.  Edited November 23, 2020 by Magilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Not all voters decide their decisions for selfish reasons. Whatever.  I'm reporting a consequence of the Leave vote, and commiserating with those made to suffer from it against their will.  That is all.
