The Northern Ireland Protocol is part of the Brexit agreement between the UK and the European Union (EU), which came into force in January 2021, aimed at avoiding the establishment of a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.
London said the protocol could not be implemented because it caused delays and disruptions to freight between other British territories and Northern Ireland.
Earlier on September 7, British Prime Minister Liz Truss affirmed the priority of resolving the Northern Ireland Protocol issue, finding a solution to remove some post-Brexit trade rules with the territory.
