London ignores EU ultimatum on controversial law

By not responding in time to a “formal notice” from Brussels concerning its law reverting to Brexit, London therefore ignored the European Union’s ultimatum. “To date, the EU has received no response from the UK,” a European Commission spokesperson said on Tuesday, as negotiations on the post-Brexit relationship are in the home stretch.

“We are considering the next steps, in particular the issuance of a ‘reasoned opinion'”, the last step before the possible referral to European justice, he added.
