The EU has been strongly opposed to the UK's submission of a bill to unilaterally change some of the Northern Ireland arrangements with the EU upon withdrawal from the EU-European Union, and the conflict over withdrawal is once again fierce. It is becoming.
The British government has signed an agreement with the EU on Northern Ireland upon Brexit, but on the 13th of this month, it submitted a bill to Parliament to unilaterally change some parts.
Under the agreement, Northern Ireland will follow EU rules regarding the traffic of goods, even after leaving to avoid the formation of physical borders, based on the history of past conflicts between Northern Ireland and Ireland, a member of the EU. Both sides have agreed, but this bill includes a unilateral change to some of this.
The EU has strongly opposed the submission of the bill as an "infringement of international law" and announced on the 15th that it would resort to legal action if Britain did not follow the agreement.
In response, Prime Minister Johnson has stated that the bill is "a relatively trivial adjustment" and that it is not a violation of international law.
The UK and the EU have agreed on conditions for withdrawal after difficult negotiations, but with this bill, the conflict over withdrawal is intensifying again.
