EU ready to make offer to end Northern Ireland border dispute
The European Union is prepared to improve its offer to cut customs checks in Northern Ireland in a bid to secure a new Brexit agreement for the province.
But Maros Sefcovic, a European Commission vice-president, will warn on Friday that a deal will not be possible unless the UK drops its “unattainable” demands on the role of European judges.
The EU’s Brexit negotiator will tell Lord Frost, his British counterpart, that their talks over the Northern Ireland Protocol will fail unless the UK takes a step towards the bloc’s proposals.
The pair will meet for the fourth consecutive week in London on Friday, as part of intensive negotiations over the province’s Brexit arrangements.
