There is a 'new basis' for talks on the Northern Ireland protocol following a meeting between the EU and UK
keeps Northern Ireland aligned with some EU trade rulesIt keeps Northern Ireland in the EU's single market for goods, avoiding the need for a hard border with the Irish Republic after Brexit.
Trusted traders would use a green lane for GB goods that are destined only for Northern Ireland, meaning that would not need to be checked and would have minimal paperwork. The UK says it has built a system which can do this by drawing together five different databases which deal with things like customs declarations, safety and security declarations and ferry manifests.
The EU's acceptance that the system works is significant but it does not mean that a fresh agreement on the movement of goods is inevitable. Remember, last summer the European Commission was moving to sue the UK as the government pursued plans to unilaterally start scrapping parts of the protocol.
