Top euro MPs said protecting the bloc's Single Market - which Britain will leave after Brexit - will be more important than keeping the peace in Northern Ireland if the UK quits without an agreement
Senior German MEP Elmar Brok said if Ireland failed to police the frontier "we would have to set up a customs border with Ireland".

It’s essentially a legal obligation. Why should the EU accept a soft entry point for products below EU standards to enter the EU?
This isn’t a problem of Europe or Ireland created. Britain wants to exit the Single Market and Customs Union. That creates a border between Britain and the EU.
Not policing it is not a serious option. Would we tolerate illegal migration over it?
