<p>The Windsor Framework removes 1,700 pages of EU law, and with them any European
Court of Justice (ECJ) interpretation and oversight in those areas. Furthermore, the
Stormont Brake would enable a sovereign UK Government decision to veto the application
of new EU laws and accompanying ECJ oversight within Northern Ireland. This safeguard
in the treaty itself is not subject to ECJ oversight, and any dispute on this issue
would be resolved through subsequent independent arbitration according to international,
not EU law.</p><p>In the limited circumstances in which EU rules do continue to apply,
the UK and EU are clear that political routes should be used to seek to resolve issues
before resorting to formal dispute settlement and that the fundamental underpinning
of this arrangement is in international law, not EU law and the EU institutions.</p>
