Shocked to see such a disingenuous story. If you had done your homework @DavidWooding @DominicRaab you would know that: 1. There's nothing secret about this, the contingency proposals were published on 19 Dec 2018; 2. It's not a deal but a set of unilateral temporary measures 1/
These measures cld be revoked unilaterally without much warning; 3. It's not agreed yet, @Europarl_EN & the Council need to agree & haven't even met yet, 1st meeting is tomorrow ; 4. The unilateral measures will expire after 1 year for aviation & 9 months for road transport 2/
While there's plenty of precedent for stand alone aviation deals, the EU refuses pt blank to consider a long term haulage agreement for aft the contingency expires. There's no solution for road haulage aft this year. Not great when you have to sign multi-annual ctracts 3/
The EC states clearly in docs published on 19 Dec that the only solution nxt year will be ECMT permits - which based on this year's call for application don't cover 10% of the needs. Fact, not project fear; 5. The contingency measures are very far from offering a suitable 4/
Degree of mket access, esp for road haulage. UK operators can now do unlimited international trips between any 2 EU ctries, that won't be the case aft March. They'll be limited to 2 max aft a UK-EU journey if Council gets its way, none under the European Parliament proposal 5/
Similar restrictions for cabotage. That's in no way comparable to the current situation. So instead of max access in a predictable environment, UK operators will have to make do with restricted access, with no lg term certainty, if it all gets approved on time. 6/
6. That won't solve anything in terms of paperwork & red tape, costs, border delays or any of the other joys of #NoDeal ... and it's there because associations like @newsfromfta @newsfromftai have campaigned relentlessly for it. Next time, please get your facts right! END
