Legal move could eventually lead to Britain being sued to force compliance. FMTNews Brexit Britain

Britain’s departure from EU is postponed, so it is supposed to nominate a commissioner under EU rules.

Britain’s departure from the bloc has been postponed from Oct 31 until Jan 31, so under EU rules it is supposed to put forward a candidate for the new commission led by Ursula von der Leyen. The former German defence minister had hoped to head a 28-strong team of top officials – one from each EU member state – in time for her commission to take office on Dec 1.The legal move, known in EU jargon as an infringement procedure, begins a long process involving several warnings that could eventually lead to Britain being sued at the EU’s highest court to force compliance.

A European source suggested the legal proceedings may be a technical move to enable the new commission to take office without a British commissioner.
