The Government is in the “final stages” of engagement with the DUP over its concerns as further changes of the Windsor Framework come into effect on Sunday, including the green/red lane system for the movement of goods, the Northern Ireland Secretary has said.
On Thursday, Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O’Neill said patience had run out with the DUP blockade of the Assembly.Writing in the News Letter on Saturday, Mr Heaton Harris said the Government had engaged with the DUP “extensively” over the summer and that the party’s proposals had improved the green-lane system.
“I firmly believe that restoration of the institutions is right for Northern Ireland and right for the future of the Union.
Goods coming into the region which are travelling to the Republic of Ireland or elsewhere in the EU will use the red lane, which includes customs declarations and some checks.Companies that use the green lane will be signed up to a trusted trader scheme. Mr Heaton-Harris wrote: “From this Sunday further changes roll out – meaning that previously banned goods like sausages and seed potatoes will be able to move again to Northern Ireland.
