'I would not rule out the NI Protocol as having a negative impact on other competition from within the other UK regions.'
Paperwork linked to the Northern Ireland Protocol may be to blame for a Northern Ireland council being unable to source a Christmas tree from GB, a DUP rep has said.
Reacting to the news, DUP LCCC leisure committee member, Cllr Jonathan Craig said: “The fact that the council had only one tender for natural Christmas trees this year, I would not rule out the NI Protocol as having a negative impact on other competition from within the other UK regions. “We as a council are now actively looking at generating an amount of our own permanent supply of trees in the district, where they can grow in a natural environment all year round on the very site they will be displayed on at Christmas. It will work in some areas, but not in others.
