It’s just inconceivable that they would be petty enough to terminate flight schedules in that way. There exists a strong will emoungst the citizens of the wide EU area to allow travel to continue. That is in our interest and theirs in equal measure. The same principle can be said for trade. It’s just the EU leaders who want to be difficult.
The EU leaders aren't being difficult, they've already made a plan for flights to continue in a no deal scenario. British airlines will still be able to fly in and out of the EU, but they won't be able to fly EU to EU, so no earnings for them within the EU area.

I’m not sure what that equates to in terms of lost revenue. Anyone know how many wholly owned U.K. airlines operate flights within what will become the EU area after we leave.

But it`s Mr. Juncker, he`s The President of the EU..
Only part of the EU, he's President of the EU Commission for a five year term, ending in 2019.

Donald Tusk is President of the EU Council.

Antonio Tajani is President of the European Parliament.

There's no apostrophe for the possessive 'its'. "It's" ALWAYS means either 'it is' or 'it has' - but never the possessive which is always its with no apostrophe.

You're very welcome.

Glad to be of help. Anytime. No really. You're very very welcome.
Well now, you are correct, and yes I have a habit of misusing the apostrophe when typing, I am fully aware of the usage, what was the point of your post?
Here you are "So much for not wanting to accept its authority "

Happy to help
You're very welcome.

Is that really all you have to say on accepting the rule of the ECJ to be pedantic about an apostrophe?
You are bankrupt of a suitable response it seems

Yes indeed, nothing like a pay rise to combat that ole sciatica flare up...

Austrian newspaper Österreich is reporting that EU Commission President Jean Claude-Juncker “caused a stir” and “had to be supported by two staff members” while enjoying a festive dinner last night.... perhaps a little too much.

View attachment 28196

now if this was Trump it would be `Breaking News` on Sky, instant programme rescheduling, the good and the great being wheeled into the studio to vilify and condemn..

But it`s Mr. Juncker, he`s The President of the EU..

so it`s OK
Seriously Tommie, Tusk is the President of the EU and who cares about Juncker he will be gone next year

Here I agree with you. She's cornered herself and has no options but to stick to her guns or resign.
.
At the time she took on the job, immigration was a key issue.
Two years on, voters are now much less concerned about EU immigration.
The issue for them is now the £39 billions.
The ERG moves the goal post accordingly just to make sure none of her plans will get their support.

Have you been having what Junkers been having??

Who is the current president of the EU?

As of 2018, the current President is Jean-Claude Juncker, who took office on 1 November 2014. He is a member of the European People's Party (EPP) and is the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg. Juncker is the twelfth President and his First Vice-President is Frans Timmermans.

That doesnt change what she could, should do now. Nobody has answered that,merely explained that in your opinion she did something stupid almost 2 years ago.
What do you want her to do now, bearing in mind the manifesto that put her there...

https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/stupid-woman-jeremy-corbyn-theresa-may-sexism-pmq-men-a8690861.html

Worth reading.Gives an insight into why term is disliked and makes other good points.
I'll answer that crash out of the EU with no deal!
There that solves all her problems

"BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Council President Donald Tusk said on Friday he had no mandate to reopen Brexit negotiations with Britain, while the head of the bloc’s executive, Jean-Claude Juncker, said he “admired” Prime Minister Theresa May.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but not it seems alone, but anyway it hardly matters as the man is nobody's favourite anyway and will soon be gone
And if you bothered to read my posts you would be aware I don't drink alcohol

I can readily agree that it is a high rate of pay. But I'd point out that managing the EU could be seen as a bigger job than a football club and some of the pay rates for that job make these EU salaries look low.
But football is probably greatest meritocracy in history. Yes, massive pay but get it wrong... and you are gone. Ask Jose.
Besides Football is entertainment business... Then again EU might be same..
And two wrongs don't make a right.

Now I am wondering what impact brexit will have on flights to or via Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein - not the EU27 identified in the document but usually adhering to EU rules.

Coming up with the Chequers plan then (possibly) ending up in no-deal - two wrongs that most certainly don't make a right.

My thoughts would be no change. EU rules are essentialy cut & paste U.K. rules.

The BBC have this on EU no deal preparations
EU no Deal Preparations

The European Commission's initial guidance on the issue was published in November.
It committed to publishing its draft version by the end of 2018, allowing for eight weeks of consultation, as required by EU treaties.
But the message from Brussels is clear: the deal that's on offer is way, way, way better than no deal at all.
