Prime Minister Rishi Sunak may have negotiated solutions to some of the problems left behind by Boris Johnson's Brexit deal in Northern Ireland, but this is a deal of Brussels compromises rather than concessions - so what exactly has the PM signed up to?
It requires 30 members of two parties in the Assembly to agree for the"brake" to be triggered.
Finally, if Northern Ireland does use its veto, it can be punished by the EU by imposing other sanctions. However, the law being disapplied is not EU law in force in Northern Ireland, but instead the EU rules on trade introduced as part of Boris Johnson's Brexit deal introducing checks on goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
However, the EU and UK have only agreed to"explore establishing" a list of goods not being at risk of entering the EU which would not be subject to EU VAT rules. And while alcohol taxes will in future be levied in Northern Ireland by strength, the same way they are in the rest of Britain,"the UK will not be able to apply any duty rate below the EU minima."
