The EU chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, will demand that the European Court of Justice has the permanent right to have the final say in any post-brexit EU/UK disputes.

"The European Union will insist that the Brexit agreement include the European Court of Justice providing permanent judicial oversight over future EU-U.K. relations, its chief Brexit negotiator said Monday." Reports Politico.

In a speech at a reception held by the German engineering association VDMA, Barnier said that without an agreement on governance, any EU/UK treaty would have no credibility and that the only route to frictionless trade was via a Norway-Plus type deal, which would entail us having to take all EU laws, EU freedom of movement and be in a customs union preventing us from making other trade deals.

Barnier also said that he understood Theresa May's red-lines set out in her Mansion House speech about leaving the customs union and ending ECJ oversight but, he said, the UK has to change its red lines.

"We need an agreement on governance and the role of the Court of Justice." He said.

Well I have already agreed with 17.4 million other UK voters that the ECJ has zero control over the UK after Brexit.

Now to EU fraud, what I want to know is why the following has not hit the national press.

Last week the European Investment Bank, the EIB, told 'euobserver' it was not going to disclose a report written by the EU anti-fraud Agency, OLAF, about how the German carmaker Volkswagen was able to obtain a €400 million loan from the EIB without disclosing it was making vehicles with diesel emission cheating software.

In fact the EIB has said it will not even give out partial access to a redacted version of the report.

The Finnish Green MEP Heidi Hautala said that this decision was outrageous and not acceptable. Especially as the EU parliament had voted back in February that the report should be made available.

Compare that to the UK where parliament could force those Brexit impact assessments to be made available.

So, whatever happened to all that wonderful EU transparency we were told about? And where are the cries of outrage in the UK, especially from the EU-loving Greens? All I can see here is EU institutions and manufacturers covering each others' backs, while ignoring a toothless EU parliament.

Other Topics include, the House of Lords voting to keep the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, the EU admitting that their backstop plan for the Irish border may hurt the single market and the latest on the national debt and deficit.
