EU to take UK to ECHR over Brexit failures

[pellinore]

Unless Starmer addresses these issues, and implements border controls as agreed in TCA, further progress on Brexit will be stalled and higher food prices and shortages are inevitable. The madness is, the UK is part of Europe, so why we decided to go to battle with them so we could take millions of immigrants from all around the world instead is absolutely baffling. (I just don't understand Brexit, let's hope someone can eventually explain why it is a good idea.)

The European Commission (EC) said today that it has taken the next steps over the UK's failure to comply with EU law on free movement of EU citizens and their family members.

The EC first launched infringement proceedings against the UK over the matter in May 2020, noting: "The rights of EU citizens resident in the UK after the end of the transition period, as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement, are built on the rights that they currently enjoy in the United Kingdom under EU rules. The United Kingdom's shortcomings in the implementation and transposition of EU free movement law risks therefore also affecting the implementation of the citizens' rights under the Withdrawal Agreement after the end of the transition period."

In its latest regular package of infringement decisions issued today, the EC announced that further steps have been taken due to continued shortcomings in the UKs implementation of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) over the free movement of EU citizens or their family members.

What exact way is the agreement being infringed upon?

I have to ask because before Brexit Theresa May sent them all a letter asking if they wanted to apply for citizenship. If they didn`t apply, then they aren`t UK citizens.
