This is welcome, but I wonder how Brexit will affect all this in the long run.

Not so much I guess for memberstates excluding Britain, because since this is a conclusion made by the EC it can be used as precedence in any other member state even though it has been brought up in the UK pre-Brexit.

The situation in Britain however could be overturned the moment article 50 gets activated and its no longer a EU member state (and thus no longer falls under its legislation).
