Britain and the European Union announced a new deal for post-Brexit trading arrangements for Northern Ireland on Monday in a bid to end a row that has overshadowed their ties since Brexit.
The British government has wanted to reduce the number of checks on goods travelling from Britain to Northern Ireland.
This is designed to reduce the paperwork facing companies that have said they were unable to provide a full range of products to Northern Ireland because the number of checks were too onerous. Sunak said the Northern Ireland Assembly will now be able to "pull an emergency brake" on any changes to EU rules and the UK government will "have a veto".
But in comments that may contradict that statement, von der Leyen said that the European Court of Justice will remain the ultimate arbiter of whether Northern Ireland is following single market rules.Businesses in Northern Ireland currently follow EU rules on value-added tax . This means tax breaks by British government payments to help firms in Northern Ireland must be compliant with rules set by the EU.
