The European Commission has laid out measures to cut 80% of regulatory checks and dramatically cut customs processes on the movement of goods, especially food and farming produce, between Britain and the island of Ireland.
"Today we went to the limits of what we can do to address the problems of Northern Ireland because we care for Northern Ireland. These problems were caused by Brexit," he said. "The next step should be intensive talks on both our sets of proposals, rapidly conducted, to determine whether there is common ground to find a solution.
The EU plan also includes a 50% reduction in customs paperwork required to move products into Northern Ireland from Great Britain. "We have explored every possible angle of the protocol and, at times, went beyond current EU law," he told a press conference in Brussels yesterday. UK Brexit minister David Frost has made clear the removal of the court's oversight function in policing the protocol is a red line for the government if a compromise deal is to be struck.
Well done Europe - now it’s time Ireland politicians and business people take up the mantle and continue this work. Continue on this please!
