:03:51. > :03:53.And that's the dilemma for the Government.
:03:54. > :03:57.So, what does today's paper tell us about its aims?
:03:58. > :03:59.Well, ministers accepted they would have to keep half

:04:37. > :04:38.and that obviously is the case, and we've indeed
:04:39. > :04:44.What the Prime Minister is now recognising is that there will be
:04:45. > :04:47.a role for the European Court, whether it's, for instance,
:04:48. > :04:49.in relation to the withdrawal agreement, the transition period
:04:50. > :04:54.or even post-Brexit in terms of the ECJ law,

:05:07. > :05:12.And it's a fact that once Britain leaves the European Union,
:05:13. > :05:14.judgments by the European Court of Justice will no longer be
:05:15. > :05:20.One of the big questions for the negotiations, though,
:05:21. > :05:25.is the extent Britain chooses to follow EU law and judgments

:05:30. > :05:36.The chief negotiators from Britain and the EU will resume their talks
:05:37. > :05:39.in Brussels next week, and there have already been
:05:40. > :05:42.disagreements between the two sides on the role the ECJ should have
:05:43. > :05:46.Today's paper from the UK may smooth things over a bit.
:05:47. > :05:50.It shows that they are accepting there are painful trade-offs to be
:05:51. > :05:53.made, and the fact that they are now saying that if they won't accept
:05:54. > :05:56.the direct effect of the Court of Justice, they could accept it

:06:04. > :06:04.and restoring Parliament's sovereignty is
:06:05. > :06:11.But the UK is not about to leap into legal isolation, and EU law,
:06:12. > :06:13.as shaped by the ECJ, will still be relevant
:06:14. > :06:25.Our legal correspondent Clive Coleman is here.
:06:26. > :06:35.So, nets just have a look at this - what influences the European court
:06:36. > :06:38.likely to have? Once we leave, it's judgments will know longer be
:06:39. > :06:44.binding in the UK courts, so to that extent, its influence has gone.
:06:45. > :06:49.However, the government has been talking about trade, and that is
:06:50. > :06:53.likely to contain a lot of EU law. If we want to sell our cars in
:06:54. > :06:57.Germany, for instance, we will have to meet EU Commissioner standards.
:06:58. > :07:08.There may be some continuing effluents in that area -- some
:07:09. > :07:12.continuing influence in that area. Consumer rights, workers' rights,
:07:13. > :07:16.for instance, a while ago, you may remember, it ruled that workers who
:07:17. > :07:19.were working overtime had the right to have that overtime included in
:07:20. > :07:23.their holiday pay cultivation is. So, if there is another ruling which
:07:24. > :07:26.pushes workers' rights forward, we won't get the benefit of that. On
:07:27. > :07:32.the other hand, however, the Government could, for instance,
:07:33. > :07:35.remove the 80 from certain goods. At the moment, that needs the agreement
:07:36. > :07:38.of all member states. But post-Brexit, there could be no
:07:39. > :07:43.challenge on that through the ECJ. What about the impact on business?
:07:44. > :07:48.There, I think it is a little bit more complicated. The Government has
:07:49. > :07:51.set out a number of options on how disputes over trade could be
:07:52. > :07:56.resolved, including joint committee, arbitration and a court like the
:07:57. > :08:02.European free trade area court, which governs countries like
:08:03. > :08:05.Lichtenstein and Iceland. That court would not have jurisdiction in any
:08:06. > :08:10.of these court of arbitration, but it could retain some influence if,
:08:11. > :08:12.for instance, a post-Brexit decision of the ECJ is looked at in order to
:08:13. > :08:15.resolve a dispute. And Adam Fleming is at the European
:08:16. > :08:18.Court of Justice in Luxembourg. Adam, there's still a lot to wade
:08:19. > :08:20.through before the Government can even start negotiating this
:08:21. > :08:35.with the EU? Yes, and we are outside a court, so
:08:36. > :08:41.let's look at it in a legal way. First, the case for optimism. I
:08:42. > :08:44.spoke to a judge who used to work here at the European Court of
:08:45. > :08:47.Justice, who welcome the paper from the UK, saying that it showed that
:08:48. > :08:51.they were realistic about the fact that this place may continue to have
:08:52. > :08:57.some kind of indirect influence in British life, even after Brexit.
:08:58. > :09:00.There is also evidence that the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, is
:09:01. > :09:04.willing to compromise. He has already offered the idea of a joint
:09:05. > :09:08.committee, made up of people from both sides, who would harm about
:09:09. > :09:11.disagreements arising from the Brexit deal. Reading the British
:09:12. > :09:14.paper today, that looks like something which could be palatable
:09:15. > :09:19.to the British Government. So that is the case for optimism. The case
:09:20. > :09:22.for pessimism. There will be another round of talks in Brussels next
:09:23. > :09:28.week, and top of the agenda will be this issue of EU citizens was no
:09:29. > :09:32.rights in the UK after departure, which the EU wants to guarantee via
:09:33. > :09:35.the European Court of Justice, but which the UK is totally opposed to.
:09:36. > :09:41.Expectations of any breakthrough next week are very low, with one
:09:42. > :09:46.diplomat saying to me in private, it is going so slowly, we should expect
:09:47. > :09:50.further delays to be inevitable. And overhanging all of this, the issue
:09:51. > :09:56.of the finances. One British official tonight quoting The Great
:09:57. > :09:59.British Bake Off, saying that the EU side had massively over-egged their
:10:00. > :10:05.demands for money from the UK in all of this. So, which will win out,
:10:06. > :10:07.optimism or pessimism. To stretch the metaphor a bit further, the jury
:10:08. > :10:10.is still out. And if you want more information
:10:11. > :10:13.about Britain's relationship with the European Court of Justice,
:10:14. > :10:16.you can go to the BBC News The Home Office has apologised

:30:36. > :30:38.spanned 14 years and six managers, Rooney became captain
