Businesses have asked the UK government dozens of questions about how the replacement for the Northern Ireland Protocol will work in practice Brexit
A consortium of business organisations has asked the UK government dozens of questions about how the replacement for the NI Protocol will work in practice.The UK plans to override most of the agreement if the EU does not agree to changes.
It also means there are checks and controls on goods entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain, leading to added cost and complexity for importing businesses.The UK government says the protocol is not working and needs to be changed, preferably by negotiation. Alongside that is a plan for a dual regulatory regime, which would mean goods made to either EU or UK standard could be sold in Northern Ireland.The bill is essentially a framework to empower the government to act, with the substance of these plans to be worked out later.
They have also asked if goods which have not been definitively categorised as staying in NI would by default have to use red lane procedures.
