Britain and the European Union are edging closer to resolving their dispute over post-Brexit trading arrangements with Northern Ireland, but any agreement hangs in the balance as it will have to please several parties.
Northern Ireland also remains part of the UK's customs territory, effectively creating a customs border in the sea between Britain and Northern Ireland. Pro-British communities in the province say this erodes their place within the United Kingdom.
While opinion polls have consistently shown a majority of Northern Irish voters - who opposed Brexit - favour the idea of the protocol, the province's assembly and power-sharing government have not sat for a year due to unionist opposition. The protocol specifies those EU regulations and directives with which Northern Ireland must remain aligned, and means new EU acts may be added to those that apply in Northern Ireland.
