Brussels says EU law must apply in UK during post-Brexit transition

The EU will demand that European law continues to apply in the UK during the planned transition period after it leaves the bloc, according to the latest Brussels negotiating guidelines.

The guidance, obtained by Channel 4 News, says any changes to the EU "acquis" - the accumulated body of case law and legislation - should "automatically" apply to Britain during the transition, even though it will have no say in the decision-making process.
