Irish FM: UK Should Not Doubt EU Resolve

EU-UK

Speaking earlier today Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney stated that the 'UK should not doubt the EU's resolve' on the issue of the Northern Ireland protocol.

  • 'If the UK maintains its current approach to talks, the negotiations will fail...If the UK abandons parts of the protocol the EU will react with a very strong response"
  • Comes as UK Cabinet Office minister prepares for talks with French EU min Clement Beaune and EU Commission VP Maros Sefcovic. Talks with Beaune on fisheries, and with Sefcovic on the NI protocol.
  • No sign of any bend in talks so far from either side, but UK rattling sabre of triggering Art 16 of Protocol that could see entire Brexit deal collapse.
