Borders: Northern Ireland
(asked on 7th July 2020) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the UK Government’s response to each of the proposed amendments to the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol made by the European Commission on 12 June 2020.
This question was answered on 15th July 2020
The Government is not seeking to renegotiate the Protocol, which depends on the consent of the elected representatives of the people of Northern Ireland. The Protocol must be implemented in a way that upholds the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement and respects the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland.
In terms of the proposed amendments, we will provide a fuller response once further discussions have taken place.
