The section in chapter 9 on EU market integration (pages 17 & 18) is preceded with a caveat stating the information is given for background only. It is in the core reading though. Is this examinable?

On the one hand 'for background only' would imply not. On the other hand it is in the core reading and there is an acronym (TIMMUPPETFIA) for this on the acted acronym site - though the acronym could be a tie over from earlier years when, according to a quick Google, this material was more recent and not caveated.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. There's enough to learn without memorising a couple of long dense lists. Brexit is pretty hot topic though so wouldn't want to miss out on the easy marks.
 
Our interpretation is that "for background information only" means "not examinable" for ST5. (As you say this was not caveated in this way until recently).

You are correct however that Brexit is a hot topic and a question about the economic/regulatory/investment impact of a nation leaving a common-trading block seems like a reasonable ST5 question. In which case, perhaps, awareness of the types of things mentioned in this list could be useful for idea generation?
