EU to raise strong concerns about UK move on Northern Ireland – Sefcovic

The European Union will raise its “strong concerns” about Britain’s extension of a grace period for some checks on agricultural and food products heading to Northern Ireland, European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic said.

“I’ll be speaking to @DavidGHFrost tonight on the implementation of EU-UK agreements. I’ll be raising our strong concerns on the respect of the IE/NI Protocol, following today’s announcements,” Sefcovic said on Twitter.
