Under an arrangement called the "Northern Ireland Protocol", Northern Ireland will continue to follow EU rules regarding logistics even after the UK leaves the EU so as to ensure that the flow of goods to and from Ireland, an EU member state, is not blocked by land.
For this reason, when goods were transported from the mainland of England to Northern Ireland, customs clearance procedures occurred even though they were in the same country, and logistics became stagnant due to the creation of complicated documents.
According to the announcement on the 27th, customs procedures will be greatly simplified for the transportation of goods from the UK mainland to Northern Ireland in order to eliminate this problem.
"This agreement will facilitate smooth transactions within the UK," Prime Minister Sunak said at a joint press conference.
"We are convinced that this is a long-term solution to a range of challenges that will benefit all people and businesses in Northern Ireland," said EU Commissioner von der Leyen.
The EU has strongly objected to the UK's attempt to unilaterally change parts of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
The deal is expected to end the renewed conflict between the UK and the EU.
