The hopes of maintaining a harmonious relationship between the two sides after Breguit (Britain's separation from the European Union) have suffered a major setback. The European Union (EU) has now announced legal action against Britain in a recent dispute. The latest controversy has come up on the issue of extending the grace period in terms of food controls for Northern Ireland on behalf of Britain. The EU has termed Britain's decision to extend the grace period 'unilateral, against international law and breach of the Breguit Trade Agreement'.
European Commission vice-president Marcos Sefkovich has said that the UK has taken this step and has given a constructive perspective to the present. He said that the move has led to confidence in the negotiations going on in the case of trade with Northern Ireland. The Breguit Trade Agreement rules are set to come into effect from April 1. But Britain's Northern Ireland Affairs Minister Brandon Louis has announced that the implementation is being postponed to October 1. Northern Ireland is also angry with Britain's move. He has said that this is such a step, from which he will not get any help.
In the Breguit Agreement, Britain agreed to the provision that even after Breguit, Northern Ireland would continue to have some EU rules. The motive was said to follow the terms of the Good Friday Agreement reached between the pro-independence groups of Northern Ireland and the British government in the past. The new provision would have led to custom declaration and some other hurdles on the movement of food between Northern Ireland and the UK after 1 April. Therefore, Britain has now postponed implementation of these rules for six months. He has said that this step has been taken so that by then the businessmen of both places can become convinced and accustomed to these rules.
Ireland has criticized the British government's latest move, according to TV channel Euro News, stating that in a meeting of the EU and Britain's Common Committee on 24 February, Britain reiterated its promise of a proper implementation of the Breguit Agreement. But the latest announcement is against that promise. Ireland's Foreign Ministry said that this unilateral declaration of Britain would prove to be helpful in building trust and friendly relations, without which the Breguit Agreement is not possible to execute.
There is already discontent in Northern Ireland due to Breguit. According to a recent report by London newspaper The Guardian, many groups in Northern Ireland are withdrawing from their commitment to the Good Friday Agreement. These groups are concerned about the rules that apply to trade in the Irish Sea after Breguit. The Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998. Under this, groups that had been campaigning for the independence of Northern Ireland for decades had given up their demands. But a part of the referendum in Northern Ireland is now feared to be part of Britain's internal market after Breguit.
Since Breguit, the problem of sourcing goods from outside has increased in Northern Ireland. British suppliers shipping goods to Northern Ireland have also become increasingly difficult due to additional regulations. Northern Ireland Police has warned of growing discontent in Northern Ireland for these reasons. Police officials have said that there is an atmosphere of restlessness in the country. He appealed to the people to avoid violence. People in Northern Ireland and Britain are generally concerned with this emerging situation.
