Northern Ireland checks largely “invisible”

The EU solution to problems with the Northern Ireland Protocol would see checks becoming largely “invisible”, says Maroš Šefčovič.

The European Commission Vice President has been speaking in London as part of the UK-EU Parliamentary Assembly.

“I believe that our [UK and EU] respective positions are not worlds apart”, he added.

'Minimal' checks on goods entering Northern Ireland would be largely "invisible" says @MarosSefcovic under EU's Express Lane solution. "I believe that our respective positions are not worlds apart". #brexit #NIprotocol pic.twitter.com/5x6xDz1kn2
