EU needs to show more common sense over NI Protocol, David Frost says

File image of David Frost. Image: PA File image of David Frost. Image: PA THE UK’S BREXIT minister David Frost has said he believes the Northern Ireland Protocol is not sustainable for long in the form it is currently operating.

A new raft of checks on goods at the ports of Belfast and Larne under the terms of the protocol have sparked anger among unionists who feel Northern Ireland is being separated from the rest of the UK. We have also heard about reduced availability of choice, cancelled deliveries, products being pulled, interference with movements. “The protocol relies on cross-community support but this situation does risk undermining that. Our number one priority as the UK Government is protection of the Good Friday Agreement in all its dimensions, north-south and east-west, and that is the top priority of the protocol itself.

“We are committed to working through the issues with the EU, to find a way forward and have been doing so intensively for the last few months. We have proposed a range of solutions to the existing problems but progress is limited. We do think the EU needs to show more common sense and pragmatism. Meanwhile, DUP leader Edwin Poots’ allegations that the European Union is causing harm to Northern Ireland in the wake of Brexit lacks “adherence to reality”, according to the EU’s ambassador to the UK.

Isn’t this the guy that negotiated it 😂😂

In other words, come around to his/their way of thinking. And who but the Irish know all about Anglo-British 'common sense' (sic).

I'll correct it for you. David frost needs to show more common sense about David Frost.

As we would say in Scotland..... The wee man needs his heed examined.........😂

Slightly misleading headline. Included in the article: 'fully vaccinated, have recovered from a Covid-19 infection, or have a recent negative test' FergalBowers Misleading Headline 🙄 as 'European Union wants the Covid certificate to be used to allow travellers within the bloc to avoid testing or quarantine requirements if they can show they are fully vaccinated, have recovered from a Covid-19 infection, or have a recent negative test'
