Will be interesting to see if this gets much media coverage.
Quote:
The UK has been fined €32mn by the EU’s top court for allowing pleasure boats to use lower-tax red diesel in a case that lawyers say sets a precedent for future disputes.
The European Court of Justice imposed a higher penalty than expected in a warning to the country that while it has left the bloc it is bound by some of its rules because Northern Ireland remains in the single market.
It based the fine on the size of the UK economy rather than just the Northern Irish one.
