NIRC briefing on EU 4 non papers Oct 21
We have seen genuine movement from both sides to remove GB-NI friction. Both proposed papers show that they have listened to our key messages of stability, certainty, simplicity, and affordability. While the UK Papers have yet to be published, the EU papers are here.
Through our work and our leadership of the Northern Ireland Business Brexit Working Group, we have been able to bring these messages to the UK Government and the European Commission at the highest levels as well as all 27 of the member states.
However, we are not over the line yet and there are still concerns from members on what the final settlement on the Protocol will be. We continue to work to get the best pragmatic solutions that are possible.
The following paper is an analysis of the EU papers, our key asks and some questions for members.
