Oh its so confusing isn't it? The UK is a country and the EU isn't.
By the way they haven't refused to recognise an EU ambassador, just not to give them the same diplomatic privileges as a country's Ambassador as per the treaties we signed.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostCan you explain why Britain insists that it has ambassadors to the OECD and WTO and expects them to have full diplomatic status – not paying local taxes, the CD number plate, and other assorted rights? The UK insists its head of delegation to the World Bank and the IMF also have ambassadorial status.

As set out in the "Agreement on the Status of NATO, National Representatives and International Staff" (signed at Ottawa in 1951), all members of national delegations shall enjoy the same immunities and privileges as diplomatic representatives. These include: immunity from personal arrest or detention; immunity from legal process in respect of words spoken or written or acts done in an official capacity; and inviolability for all papers and documents. A full list of privileges and immunities can be found in Article XIII of the agreement.
All countries of courseComment
