Because Ireland remains in the EU, a new arrangement was needed to reflect the EU's strict food rules and border checks.
To carry out those checks, an Irish Sea border has effectively been imposed - which Boris Johnson promised would not happen. However, those grace periods have been extended by the UK, which has resulted in a row with the EU as it says it is a breach of international law.Relations between the UK and the EU have become slightly more cordial since Mr Sunak became prime minister in October.
On 16 February, Mr Sunak travelled to Belfast to meet Stormont leaders amid growing speculation that a Brexit deal is edging closer. The party said it will only enter into a power-sharing government if other parties agree the protocol must be removed or replaced. It allows either the UK or the EU to act unilaterally to suspend parts of the Brexit treaty to avoid such difficulties.
