EU chief Brexit negotiator Maros Sefcovic urges new prime minister to engage in talks on NI Protocol.
Maros Sefcovic says that a "way forward" can be found on the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Maros Sefcovic reiterated that a "way forward" could be found by further exploring the commission's proposals for reforming the post-Brexit treaty."And it still stands - also vis-à-vis the incoming UK prime minister and government." He also warned against further unilateral action - likely hinting at reports that Conservative leader frontrunner, Liz Truss, could trigger Article 16.
The Northern Ireland Protocol is a special arrangement that keeps Northern Ireland in the EU's single market for goods, avoiding a hard border with the Republic of Ireland.
