EU warns UK to “abandon” NI Protocol Bill – Šefčovič

The EU today warned the UK to “abandon” its Northern Ireland Protocol Bill which is currently going through the British House of Lords. If implemented, it would override parts of the protocol and critics say it would breach international agreements.  

Technical negotiations between the EU and the UK on outstanding protocol issues, began again last month. And today the European Commission’s Brexit negotiator Maroš Šefčovič, pleaded with the British government to ditch the bill.  

He was speaking at the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly which has been meeting in Westminster today.
