Brexit: ‘change in tone’ raises hopes of reaching Northern Ireland deal
The prospects for a deal over post-Brexit arrangements for Northern Ireland
have been raised as Brussels welcomed the UK government’s “change in tone” and
David Frost said he believed the EU did want to fix the thorniest issues in the
talks.
The combative language around previous meetings between Lord Frost, the UK’s
Brexit minister, and the European Commission vice-president Maroš Šefčovič had
been dropped ahead of a fifth meeting of the two chief negotiators.
Šefčovič reiterated his call for a reciprocal “move” by Boris Johnson’s
government following the EU’s proposal in October to cut out most checks on
goods coming from Britain. The commissioner also warned that should Downing
Street trigger article 16 to suspend parts of the withdrawal agreement rather
than find a negotiated solution it would be destabilising to Northern Ireland.
But in an online address to Dublin City University ahead of meeting Frost, he
said he had “noticed and welcomed a recent change of tone from the UK government
and we hope that actions will follow words”.
In turn, Frost told reporters as he went in to meet Šefčovič that he had been
heartened by comments on Thursday night from the Irish taoiseach, Micheál
Martin. “Where there is a will, there is a way, and I think both sides just need
to knuckle down and get it resolved,” Martin had said in an interview with the
BBC.
Asked whether there was any prospect of a compromise solution on the UK’s demand
that the European court of justice lose its role as arbiter of disputes over EU
law in Northern Ireland, Frost was conciliatory.
He said: “It’s not an issue that we have managed to discuss very much so far. We
have very different positions. But I know the taoiseach said last night that the
EU had serious intent to resolve the difficulties that we’re facing, and I think
that’s very good thing that we take that very seriously.”
A protocol in the withdrawal agreement Johnson signed keeps Northern Ireland in
the single market and draws a customs border down the Irish Sea in order to
avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland. In October, the EU offered to
drastically reduce the number of checks on goods coming from Great Britain to
Northern Ireland in recognition of the political and economic disruption being
caused.
On Friday, Šefčovič said: “These measures would create a type of ‘express lane’
which would substantially facilitate trade between all parties . A win-win
situation for all. It is a unique and completely new model for how goods can be
moved from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, one that would strengthen
opportunities for people and businesses alike.”
