Supermarkets warn of rising costs due to NI Protocol
The Northern Ireland Protocol was agreed in October 2019 in a bid to prevent post-Brexit checks along the Irish border on goods moving between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The protocol keeps Northern Ireland in the EU single market for goods and means EU customs rules are enforced at its ports.It came into force on 1 January 2021 but the rules are being phased in gradually in a bid to protect food supplies and to give retailers times to adapt to the changes. "If no action is taken, then it will be the people the Northern Ireland, with half of the discretionary income of Great Britain households, who bear the brunt of this stalemate - meaning less choice and higher costs for essential food purchases."The letter from the six supermarkets was sent to the UK's Brexit Minister Lord Frost, and Maroš Šefčovič, vice-president of the European Commission.
