The protocol to the Brexit agreement stipulates that a customs border should be established between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom in order to avoid the reintroduction of border controls at the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.

The British media have called the conflict a “sausage war” because it has had a particular impact on the transport of frozen meat to Northern Ireland from the rest of the United Kingdom.

The conflict took effect on Wednesday, with London announcing that it could once again unilaterally extend the deadline for bringing certain groups of goods into Northern Ireland under customs control.

In turn European commision (EC) warned that it could take the next steps in the legal proceedings against Great Britain, which could result in the introduction of customs tariffs and quotas in trade between them.

British Brexit Minister David Frost met with EC Vice-President Maros Sheffchovich in London on Wednesday to find a solution.

“There was no breakthrough. There were no clashes, and we will continue the talks,” Frost told reporters after the talks, adding that there was an urgent need to find solutions.

A high-ranking British source informed of the progress of the negotiations said that in the absence of an agreement, London could resort to any means, including the unilateral suspension of customs controls beyond 30 June, without subjecting certain foodstuffs transported from the rest of the United Kingdom.
