Brexit: Šefčovič says EU will not renegotiate NI Protocol

European Commission Vice-President Maros Šefčovič has said he is "not ready to renegotiate" the Northern Ireland Protocol.

On Wednesday, he revealed a plan to reduce post-Brexit checks on goods arriving into Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK.

It seeks to calm a long-running dispute over a key part of the Brexit deal.

He told the BBC that the EU was ready to discuss issues and concerns with the protocol.

Mr Šefčovič added that the EU would "respect deals we have signed which became international law".

But he said he had "no mandate to renegotiate protocol".

Northern Ireland's special Brexit deal keeps it in the EU's single market for goods and allows free-flowing trade with the EU....bbc
