Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Good to see this myth corrected.

EU not contemplating blocking Northern Ireland food supplies, say its retailers
The EU is not contemplating blocking food supplies to Northern Ireland, a representative of the country’s largest supermarkets has said.
rime Minister Boris Johnson said Brussels was threatening to use an “extreme interpretation” of the Northern Ireland Protocol to impose “a full-scale trade border down the Irish Sea” that could stop transport of food from Great Britain.
But Aodhan Connolly of the Northern Ireland Retail Consortium said he wanted to focus on facts.
“This has been blown out of proportion,” he said.
“We want to concentrate on the facts, remove the politics and look at the process. The EU have said that they would not, and have not, contemplated this.”
The consortium speaks for Sainsbury’s, Asda, Lidl and a range of other retailers.
