they say, an army marches on its stomach. The European Union has with the films.

The EU negotiating team is ready for talks with Britain over the post-Brexit-to-many relationship, by holding a series of seminars for diplomats from the 27 member States.

The. Filled with jargon and is seriously lacking in inspirational clip art, they provide important clues about how things could play.

you will Recall That the Political Declaration? Known in Brussels as "PD", it is the 26-page sketch of The Future of the relationship is agreed upon, in addition to the 600-page withdrawal Agreement , the terms and conditions of The British Departure .

The Political Declaration is often seen as a lesser document because it is legally binding, or as a sweetener to The Divorce terms are tasty.

It is clear That the EU takes the document as gospel, because it is quoted extensively in the films. In the case of the length. As it is The Law .

EU officials are attentive to signs That the United Kingdom softening on commitments in the PD could be.

It is also a handy tool for keeping the EU-member States in accordance. For example, some said to have asked for The Other things are added, it is now Too Late .

.

One of the meetings for the diplomats was The Heart of the new relationship with the United Kingdom - The Free trade Agreement (FTA).

This presentation was full of the EU, the usual catch-phrases about this stuff: out not so good, there is no way of replicating membership of the single market without The Free movement of people, etc, etc.

In the Theresa May era, read this would like a comprehensive rejection by Brussels of applications from the UK.

It doesn't feel That way, That there's now a new British government will be able to relax, a looser economic relationship and life, with a bit of friction in trade with the EU.

But the EU thinks the UK has still to be reminded about what it can and can't do.

And the news about Financial Services in the films is not clear: "the subject of The Negotiation . "

This is because both sides of the existing opportunities, the monitoring of each other's rules, instead of inventing new ones.

Get used to another Acronym for the LPF, or "Level Playing Field".

This is taken a number of measures, of economic competition with Britain, which the EU says is necessary to reduce The Risk it will benefit undercut by British companies, of the new free trade Agreement .

The EU, That The Level playing field of tax, labour relations and environmental policy, and the state support for companies, known as "state aid. "

the most important tool That A Promise , not to fall under the current common standards, known as the non-regression clause.

But the EU has introduced an extra concept about the film "sinks".

this sounds the same as non-regression, but it means That , if a party raises standards, then, there is the possibility you may never be allowed to be lowered. This goes beyond the mere maintenance of existing standards.

And the EU would like to remain That the United Kingdom, in step with the European policies on The Environment and state aid, as they develop.

It is described in the lectures to diplomats as "ambition, in the course of time", but in The Negotiation of language use is called "dynamic alignment".

This is a massive no-no for The British government and is likely to be a big fight.

The EU negotiators think That will all need to be managed, and they place great value on a "higher-level governance framework", part of which would be a joint Committee of Ministers and officials.

According to the slides, one of his major tasks would be to decide how the application of new EU laws, or initiatives That do not exist when The Deal was negotiated.

another would be to find out what to do, if one side or The Other went, where it all began.

at The same time, the EU is developing its own tools to take revenge quickly, if the United Kingdom can have something as unacceptable.

This is The Heart of The Deal , the EU agreed with Switzerland (not approved yet) and my guess is That it is all at The Heart of what the negotiations with the United Kingdom.

And finally, who could forget what to get the access of the EU to catch in UK waters, fish, and sell The British access to the EU market, billed as the biggest flashpoint?

The slides to reiterate That an Agreement on the trade will depend on a range of fish. What is not clear, how the two are linked - either in the hearing or in The Final agreements.

The EU says it is "socio-economic" factors - the real effect of fisheries-dependent communities. This may be surprising, if you think this should be a purely technical, ecological matter, but it reflects the importance of the sector in the European psyche.

Another keyword relative stability"". This is the code for the Agreement on the basic trains, how many fish can be caught over a long period of time, perhaps decades. It means That it may not be much to in the annual fishing opportunities for the negotiations between the UK and the EU.

There are several presentations and a lot of details yet to come. They may seem boring, but today's films are tomorrow's big news stories.
