Competence Issues Concerning the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom

Abstract

The phenomenon of Brexit means changes and generates challenges for the law of the European Union. There is, however, not so much talk about the question of competence extension. The aim of this paper is to have a look at the process from an international political theoretical and legal theoretical perspective. This means the examination of three parts: the withdrawal agreement, the no-deal package and the documents related to the future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom, namely the political declaration and the negotiating mandate. The aim of the study is to outline the problem and contextualise it to some extent.
