What is the state of affairs?
,,That is a good question. In any case, there is still talk. And that’s been a lot since the British introduced their Brexit law last month. It is about the internal market of the United Kingdom. The British want the same rules to apply to Northern Ireland as to other parts of the UK. But that is diametrically opposed to what was already laid down ten months ago in the separation agreement with the European Union (namely separate rules for Northern Ireland, because it borders the EU member state Ireland and there must be some control over what enters the EU. ). This really is a breach of trust. You cannot negotiate one agreement and violate another agreement at the same time. Until two weeks ago, no further negotiations took place. Although that was of course not only due to this. The corona crisis also requires a lot of attention, of course. ”
