UK Statement: Significant Gaps Remain On NI Protocol Issues

EU-UK

UK gov't has released a statement following talks between Lord Frost and European Commission VP Maros Sefcovic on issues regarding the Northern Ireland protocol.

  • "Frost noted that there remained significant gaps to be bridged between the UK and EU positions. He noted that...it remaind the UK's preference to find a consensual way forward, but that Article 16 [that would disapply the protocol] safeguards were a legitimate part of the Protocol's provisions."
  • "...although talks had so far been conducted in a constructive spirit, Lord frost underlined that in order to make progress, it was important to bring new energy and impetus to discussions."
