Northern Ireland Protocol disputes could be resolved in 'a couple of weeks', MarosSefcovic says

Under the protocol, checks are required on goods coming into Northern Ireland from the rest of the UKNorthern Ireland Protocol disputes can be resolved in "a couple of weeks", the EU's chief Brexit negotiator has said.The remarks come as a Department for the Economy report suggests that the protocol creates a mixed picture for attracting manufacturing investment.

His remarks appear to be largely based on hopes that the UK could sign up the EU plans for easing controls on good travelling from Great Britain to Northern Ireland to as little as "a couple of lorries" per day."Is it too much to do this?" he asked."I believe that it could be done and if there is political will I am sure that we can sort it out really within a couple of weeks.

It cautioned this depends on the volume of components a Northern Ireland manufacturer needs from Great Britain. Last year, the Department for the Economy commissioned the investment consultancy Wavteq to analyse the potential impact of these arrangements.published a summary of Wavteq's findings but has not released the full report.

Guenther Steiner issues warning: Haas’ post-July slump is 'no longer acceptable'Guenther Steiner believes Haas are still feeling the effects of the previous two seasons as their slump down the standings continues. Might help if they brought some developments to the car instead of saying they don’t make any difference, like he did earlier this year. Think what Alfa and AM have done and the respective positions. Well shit. I just learned Guenter was Italian. Most pathetic team, led by the most pathetic manager. Who is he warning? Himself? They didn’t develop last years car and now they are at the back of the grid with this years car. Need to be thrown out. And he has the gall to blame Mick. 🤡
