British government in It issued a statement on Saturday expressing its readiness to consider any European Union proposals to comply with the provisions of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
London also expresses its readiness to refuse to comply with certain points of the Protocol if Brussels does not agree with the revision of the text of the document. In its statement, the British side warns against the readiness to apply Article 16 of the Protocol, which allows unilateral measures to be taken to prevent negative consequences.
A number of British media have said that the EU is ready to ease the customs regime in Northern Ireland, but that the United Kingdom considers this insufficient. It is important for London to limit the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in Ulster – it now has the final say in disputes over EU market rules.
