As OJ says, the ECJ ruled that we can apply for an extension. No bill is necessary since it's not a cancellation, article 50 can be extended beyond the 29th March. President of the EU CommissionJean Claude Juncker has acknowledged that. We can even revoke article 50 at any time during the two...

Yes, that's the basis of my confidence. The great majority of the House is totally opposed to No Deal and will do what it takes to prevent it. .

If you mean the anti-dumping measure, I'm quite sure Bosch is a major instigator. It's what companies have always done, getting politicians to protect their markets from foreign competition. We in the UK have been notorious for doing the same by various means, including criminal. .

Yes, parliament can stop it happening and I'm sure would do, but by agreement of course. Such as delaying article 50 or the EU agreeing to a delay period for a specific valid reason. .

So what, it's an entirely different issue where the EU is protecting its manufacturers against foreign competition. As I've posted, in pedelec safety issues the record shows that the Commission routinely fails to get parliament to agree. Even in this insurance issue it's probably the case that...

Not so, see this answer above. Tommie is almost never correct, he likes to scaremonger and exaggerate. .

The Commissions function is to recommend harmonisation measures to assist the formation of a single country of Europe. All are subject to the European parliament's elected members approval since the EU is a democracy, despite what the ignorant believe. Some of the recommended measures will...

You have absolutely no basis for saying it looks 50/50 Tommie. Re-read this post .

Again silly scaremongering and NOT TRUE. Committee decisions are regularly dismissed by the Parliament. For example, the Commission has tried hard to introduce compulsory cycle helmets EU wide and been overwhelmingly defeated by the European Parliament. And tried again for e-bikes and...

It has been and been dismissed as unnecessary scaremongering. The EU Commission cannot pass laws, they can only recommend them to the European parliament. There it will be killed by the main cycling nations where e-bikes are big sellers, such as Germany, The Netherlands, France, Denmark and...

Your project fear again Tommie. You've previously posted about this and been shown why it will never happen. As you've already been told, the Commission cannot pass into law any measure whatsoever, they can only recommend. This measure will be dismissed by member countries without any...

Here's why the people should never have been granted a referendum on this issue. I've been listening to a number of Nissan Workers on radio still stubbornly sticking to their Leave vote preference. How can that be? Their life in that area was terrible with massive unemployment and really...

. You live in Crouch End, North London, surrounded by some hills, and commute to Oxford Street on a Gtech e-bike. You joined this forum on 9th February 2016 and made your first post on the 11th February. Ironically the first member to warmly welcome you to the forum was Old Tom, who also gave...

Not at all Tommie. I don't know Rob, I've never met him and have never privately communicated with him. In 2013 I did post some information for him in response to a query he had about the second-hand Giant Suede he'd just bought. The information I posted for you on Rob, including that his...

. Rob (Robdon) joined pedelecs in 2013. Now in his seventies he lives in the Armthorpe area of Doncaster. Originally from Fife, from four years old he went to school on Dunnikier Road, travelling from Kinghorn every day. Although he left Fife in 1961, he went back regularly for years until...

Although true, no matter how good a deal, it won't achieve stability and orderly withrawal. Not of this present UK. .

Of course, it has to be. How would you like to try getting 28 governments to agree? Mind you, the UK is doing a good job af getting 27 to agree!! .

No to China, I don't know how you've imagined that? And I have no idea what Jonathan is a fan of, other than Remain and Dutch cycle facilities. .

If at first you don't succeed, - - - - - - - - - - - - .
