That is interesting unbiased reading.
And it answers Boris Johnson's idea:
Quote:There are two further issues of interest. The article only requires the withdrawal agreement to take into account the EU’s future relationship with the exiting state, so there is no guarantee that on leaving the EU that there will be a deal regarding future trade or political relations. Secondly, it is not stated that a country can cancel its decision to leave, meaning there is potential for the EU to force out the country that has opted to leave even if they changed their mind.
