Britain's latest proposal for an agreement on the terms of its divorce from...
BRUSSELS - Britain’s latest proposal for an agreement on the terms of its divorce from the European Union has been widely rebuffed in Brussels because it does not meet the objectives of the so-called Irish border backstop.
The backstop in the 2018 Brexit deal was designed to prevent a hard border being introduced on the island of Ireland when Britain leaves the EU - whatever trade deal was eventually agreed between London and Brussels. But the province would leave the EU’s customs union, along with the rest of Britain, so the country as a whole could strike new trade deals.
According to Irish and EU officials, there are several issues with the plan proposed by Johnson, who is determined for Britain to leave the EU on Oct. 31, with or without a deal. Britain has proposed only having physical checks on a very small proportion of traded goods at premises or designated locations anywhere in Ireland or Northern Ireland - to avoid having a physical hard border.
“It’s hard to see the substance of the customs proposal working for the EU side. It creates regulatory friction with Britain and customs friction with the EU,” said Mujtaba Rahman, managing director for Europe of the Eurasia Group.Another major sticking point is the proposal that the Northern Ireland assembly can review its membership of the EU single market every four years.
