The British government is refusing to respond to an EU disciplinary procedure over London’s refusal to nominate an EU commissioner
LONDON — The U.K. government is refusing to respond to an EU disciplinary procedure over London’s refusal to nominate an EU commissioner.
London had agreed to name a commissioner as part of a deal with the EU27 that extended the Brexit deadline to January 31 from October 31, but No. 10 has refused to do so,that no international appointments should be made during a general election campaign. The Commission has no expectation that the infringement procedure would force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to make a nomination, but was acting for legal purposes to make clear that it has taken all possible steps to force London to comply with the law — and thereby avoid any challenges to the legitimacy of the new College of Commissioners set to take office on December 1.to confirm the new Commission, without the British commissioner, at a plenary session in Strasbourg.
