Triggering Article 16 would have serious consequences – EU
European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic warned on Friday that triggering Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol “would have serious consequences” both for the stability of Northern Ireland and the relations between the European Union and the United Kingdom.
Sefcovic has been negotiating changes to the protocol with the UK’s chief Brexit negotiator David Frost but said there has been “no move at all from the UK side” to compromise on the issue. He urged London to “engage with us sincerely” and said next week “will be an important one” as discussions continue on the expert level.
