Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
What "rowing back"?

Quote:
The text of the bill has yet to be published, so we cannot say for definite what will be included in its wording.
But Downing Street said one thing it would do is allow ministers to unilaterally decide what particular goods were "at risk" of entering the EU when passing between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and therefore subject to EU tariffs.
The law would also give ministers the powers to scrap export declarations on goods moving from Northern Ireland to Great Britain and would make it clear that EU state aid requirements - where governments give financial support to homegrown businesses - would only apply in Northern Ireland.
But the government insists the bill only introduces "limited and reasonable steps" to "remove ambiguity" - not "overriding" the withdrawal agreement, as government sources had suggested on Sunday.
