The European Union has launched legal action against the UK for making changes to Northern Ireland's trading arrangements, an EU official said

A government spokesman added:"Low key operation measures like these are well precedented and common in the early days of major international treaties.This is a normal process when implementing new treaties and not something that should warrant legal action.

"All sides need to keep in mind the fact that the Protocol depends on cross-community consent and confidence if it is to work and deliver our common objective of protecting the Belfast Agreement in all its dimensions, North-South and East-West. European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic, who leads the issue for the EU, said:"The protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland is the only way to protect the Good Friday Agreement and to preserve peace and stability while avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland and maintaining the integrity of the EU single market."Unilateral decisions and international law violations by the UK defeat its very purpose and undermine trust between us.

The EU has urged the UK to enter into bilateral consultations with the aim of reaching a mutually agreed solution by the end of March.The EU's move to bring legal proceedings against the UK likely shows an acceptance of an increasingly rancorous relationship between the two sides.
