Reports suggesting the EU could impose checks on Irish goods going to continental Europe to solve the impasse over the Northern Ireland Protocol are incorrect, a European Commissioner has said.
Addressing the Senad committee on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU, Ms McGuinness said the commission had “identified flexibilities and technical solutions” including on issues such as medicines, Vat and tariffs. Ms McGuinness said she was “very happy” to hear her commission vice president Maroš Šefcovic deny “completely” reports that the EU would impose checks on goods leaving Ireland for the continent, effectively giving the State third country status alongside the UK.“There is no interest here at the commission to make the problem an Irish problem, because clearly this is a Brexit problem.
The Celtic Sea border is the only place for the EU to carry out it's checks in order to protect the Good Friday Agreement and preserve peace. Checks at the Irish Sea border or Irish land border will both result in violence.
There are checks. Certificate of origin for starters.
