Treaty between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the French Republic relating to Joint Radiographic/Hydrodynamics Facilities
Statement of intent
***************************************
The JHA opt-in Protocol and Schengen opt-out Protocol
The UK’s participation in EU measures on Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) is principally governed by Protocols 19 and 21 to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union:a.JHA (Title V) opt-in Protocol 21:
the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty means that the UK, and separately Ireland, may choose, within three months of a proposal or initiative being presented to the Council pursuant to Title V of Part Three of the TFEU (the part of the Treaty governing Justice and Home Affairs matters),
whether it wishes to participate in the adoption and application of any such proposed measure.
If the UK notifies the President of the Council of its intention to participate within that three month period, there is no possibility of opting out later.
If the measure is adopted, the UK would be bound, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) will have jurisdiction over it and the Commission will have the power to infract in respect of any failure to properly implement the measure.
If the UK does not opt in by the three month point, it is still entitled to a seat at the negotiating table, but has no vote and, as a result, has significantly reduced negotiating weight with which to shape the proposal.
However, the UK may, at any stage after a measure has been adopted, indicate its wish to participate, though the Commission has to approve and the Commission and Council can impose conditions.

Further to the Localism Bill in the permanent dividing of ENGLAND
http://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm79/7961/7961.pdf
3.20 We propose, through the Localism Bill, to place a new statutory duty to cooperate on local
authorities, public bodies involved in plan-making and on private bodies that are critical to planmaking,
such as infrastructure providers.
There will also be a new requirement for large-scale developers to consult with others in the local community before submitting planning applications.
This will benefit local communities by engaging them at an early stage, as well as
businesses who should see faster and more positive consideration of their proposals if they
address issues early on.

If the people of this Country do not get out of the EU soon-their free country will be gone forever. What if a dictator becomes their Head of the State of European Union? What then?
