One good reason for doing this regular tracking report is that is means we (i.e. I) can abreast of what is an ever-changing landscape of interactions between the EU and the UK. As a case in point, I'd rather missed that the past couple of weeks have been packed with meetings of the numerous Trade & Cooperation Agreement bodies. Possibly that's a reflection of the lack of substance behind most of those, possibly because the key forum - the Partnership Council - is now some 18 months since it last (and, indeed, first) met.
