This temporary arrangement would kick in at the end of the transition period in December 2020 and last for at least four years. Once four years has passed, politicians in the Northern Irish Assembly would vote whether to continue following EU single market rules, or cut regulatory ties with Brussels and converge with the rest of the UK.The EU will almost certainly reject the proposals when they arrive in Brussels.
