MEPs debate the UK government’s controversial Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, which, if implemented, would breach the EU-UK Brexit agreement. The proposed bill, which passed the second reading stage in the UK House of Commons on Monday 27 June, would allow the UK government to unilaterally ignore EU-UK arrangements for Northern Ireland after Brexit, potentially risking a trade war while breaking international law. Closing statements by Mikuláš BEK, Czech Minister for European Affairs and by Maroš ŠEFČOVIČ, Vice-President of the European Commission.

EP Foreign Affairs Committee Chair, David McALLISTER (EPP,DE) gives a statement on the CE proposals related to the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland, after the UK's Brexit minister announced that UK wants to negotiate a new protocol. The UK and EU agreed on a protocol after Brexit to avoid the introduction of a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. The document states that Northern Ireland will remain part of the UK's customs territory - so if the UK signs a free-trade deal with another country, Northern Irish goods would be included. However, Northern Ireland will have to stick to EU rules to allow goods to move freely into the Republic and the rest of the EU.
