Brexit: What is the Northern Ireland Protocol? Northern Ireland Protocol - agreed with the European Union (EU) in 2019 - has been a source of tension since it came into force at the start of 2021. Special trading arrangements were needed for Northern Ireland after the UK voted for Brexit in 2016. This is because it's the only part of the UK with a land border with an EU country - the Republic of Ireland. Before Brexit, it was easy to transport goods across this border because both sides had the same EU trade rules. No checks or paperwork were necessary. After Brexit, a new system was needed because the EU has strict food rules and requires border checks when certain goods - such as milk and eggs - arrive from non-EU countries. UK and the EU agreed that protecting the 1998 Northern Ireland peace deal - the Good Friday Agreement - was an absolute priority. So, both sides signed the Northern Ireland Protocol as part of the Brexit withdrawal agreement, which is now part of international law. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says the Protocol has caused problems which had not been expected when the agreement was signed. The government now wants to ditch parts of the deal. It wants to create red lanes and green lanes for goods imported from Britain into Northern Ireland. read more at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-53724381
