Were handing over more power to the #EU – but the Government doesnt want you to know. The rush towards a criminal justice and policing opt-in puts our national sovereignty at risk, writes Jacob Rees-Mogg. .... many of the 94 measures that will be permanently opted out of are defunct or trivial while the 35 to be re-entered bring the full authority of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the Commission and the European Parliament to bear. This is a tangible transfer of power against an intangible return. As the report says: “Adherence to any legally binding EU police and criminal justice measure brings with it the risk of legal principles and practices of other jurisdictions influencing or interfering with our own, as the Court of Justice will have the ultimate say on how it is interpreted and applied.”
