Boris Johnson’s Government has repeatedly warned that it will trigger Article 16 – ending large parts of the withdrawal agreement – if the current impasse is not resolved. Under the terms of the withdrawal agreement, Northern Ireland was effectively kept in the EU customs union to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland.<\/p>\n

This has enraged Westminster and the province’s Unionist community alike for fracturing the UK’s internal market by creating a border in the Irish Sea.<\/p>\n

Brexit Secretary Lord Frost has repeatedly called on the EU to come back to the negotiating table and offer “significant” amendments.<\/p>\n

EU Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič insisted that the EU is prepared to offer “very far-reaching” changes to the current situation.<\/p>\n

But observers believe these apparent concessions will not be enough to stop the ongoing spat between the two escalates.<\/p>\n

Claudia Wanner, a UK-based correspondent for the German press, claimed that it “seems only a matter of time” before that eventuality is realised.<\/p>\n

Writing in Die Welt, she added: “It is quite possible that this connection to Ireland will soon become even more important.<\/p>\n

“A renewed dispute over the Northern Ireland Protocol, which takes account of the special situation in the northern part of the Irish island after Brexit, could quickly escalate into a trade war between the two sides, observers warn.<\/p>\n

“The point will come at which the EU will say: enough, we cannot make any further compromises, warned Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney.<\/p>\n

“He agrees on this with the EU Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič, who is responsible for the Brexit talks.<\/p>\n

“The British government has been pushing for changes in the rules for imports and exports from the British Isles to Northern Ireland for months.<\/p>\n

“The protocol, which was fought long and hard during the Brexit negotiations, seeks to avoid a land border and the associated controls on the transport of goods on the Irish island.<\/p>\n

“Northern Ireland is de facto subject to EU regulations in many respects.<\/p>\n

“Instead, controls take place in UK intra-British trade when importing into Northern Ireland, in order to prevent goods from ending up in the EU unchecked on their way via Ireland.<\/p>\n

“In the past few days, the EU has signalled that it will ease the controls.”<\/p>\n

She added: “At some point, however, it will no longer be possible to respond to these demands without endangering the integrity of the internal market.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“And I think we are very close to that point.”<\/p>\n
