Quick Summary

Brussels has presented demands for Britain to grant oversight of its use of EU databases to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and pay fees as conditions for more assistance with managing the Channel migrant crisis. Andy Burnham plans to discuss these issues during an upcoming summit aimed at strengthening ties between the UK and the EU, seeking access to criminal and illegal migration databases lost post-Brexit. This move is expected to provoke opposition from Brexiteers who oppose any erosion of British sovereignty.

Story summary

Brussels has demanded that Britain grant oversight of its efforts to combat Channel small boats to EU judges, as part of a potential agreement for more help with the migrant crisis. Andy Burnham plans to use an upcoming summit designed to bring the UK closer to the EU to negotiate access to migrant and criminal databases lost post-Brexit. However, the EU insists that the UK must also accept oversight by the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice (ECJ) and pay a fee for this data access. This demand is likely to anger Brexiteers who already feel the EU is not doing enough regarding migration issues. The ECJ's involvement would be seen as another derogation of British sovereignty, with Tory deputy leader Alex Burghart stating that such an agreement cannot come at the cost of national independence.
