Agreement will make trade between UK and North smoother and ensure same food and medicines available in both regions, Šefčovič tells TDs
“Consumers in Northern Ireland, will find the same foods on supermarket shelves as in the rest of the UK, whilst safeguards will also be in place including labelling and SPS inspection facilities.
“Because our aim then, I think we share it together with our UK partners, is to clarify, hopefully everything, if not everything as much as possible before it will reach the political level and we have every intention to do that.” “And finally, a matter that was of key importance to us, the role of the European Court of Justice has not changed,” he said.Mr Šefčovič stated that the UK choosing to diverge from EU law would create barriers to trade.
Mr Šefčovič also stated that the UK government was committed to the implementation of the agreement and the European Commission was working well with the UK.
