The European Union must respond urgently to Britain's demands for changes to the deal overseeing problematic post-Brexit trade involving Northern Ireland, British Brexit Minister David Frost said on Thursday.

The Northern Ireland protocol was part of the Brexit divorce settlement negotiated by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. But Britain has said it must be rewritten less than a year after it was signed because of difficulties that businesses in the British province were facing.

"The Protocol is clearly having a continued negative effect on everyday life & business in Northern Ireland," Frost wrote on Twitter. On Tuesday, European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic, who oversees EU relations with Britain, said he hoped to solve the Northern Irish trading issues by the end of the year.

The arrangement has, however, effectively placed a border in the Irish Sea, which businesses say has damaged trade.

EU proposes legislation requiring all mobile devices, including iPhones, use a universal chargerLawmakers in Europe unveil a proposal to force smartphone makers to adopt a universal, brand-agnostic charging cable in an effort to reduce electronic waste. Apple solved this already, right? Stop including them for free, and instead sell them separately at an exorbitant price. Seems legit. Good idea. Between cell phones, tablets, and headphones, I have three different types of charging cables. 3 chargers and they all are getting used….work, nightly charging and back up for when one breaks always have to have 2 at least

One to charge them all: EU demands single plug for phonesLONDON (AP) — The European Union unveiled plans Thursday that would require smartphone makers to adopt a single charging method for mobile devices. The EU Commission proposed legislation Thursday that would mandate USB-C cables for charging, technology that many device makers have already adopted. This is not new though. They want to make that cash on a different charger for every device. Make that universal and the price will go up on everything else.😜 It would require Chinese factories to retool and China doesn't want to spend the $.
