exclusive jurisdiction regarding the interpretation and application of the UNCLOS
provisions as much as possible.
Brexit and the triggering of the procedure under Art. 50 TEU by the United
Kingdom on 29 March 2017 are likewise opening a scenario of either uncertainty or
opportunities. This is because the United Kingdom’s future withdrawal will have a
profound impact on the EU legal order in general and on the ECJ’s interpretation
and application of UNCLOS provisions in particular. Once the legal ‘divorce’
between the EU and the United Kingdom has been completed, international law will
apply to the relations between the EU and the United Kingdom, in its future capacity as a non-EU Member State. The unique limitations this could pose for this scenario, if any, will be established only by the terms of the agreement negotiated
between the two parties.
