MEPs urge UK government not to adopt new NI bill

EU lawmakers on Tuesday urged the government of Boris Johnson not to adopt the proposed bill amending post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland. The proposed law “damages mutual trust and creates uncertainty for people, investors and business in Northern Ireland,” a group of MEPs said, after a meeting with commissioner Maroš Šefčovič. The EU is currently considering legal proceedings over the UK government’s failure to implement parts of the protocol.
