As I've previously pointed out, it doesn't say anything specific, just that the details are up to the Joint Committee. GB and NI are in the SAME customs territory. That IS in the agreement, and as such there can't be different rules for GB and NI. WTO rules state that different customs rules=separate customs territories=full WTO tariffs between those territories(ie between GB & NI).
Why on earth are the EU objecting to parcels between GB and NI?  The bigger food safety threat, is and always has been, from the EU, Eg Horse meat masquerading as Beef. |
As below, David Frost agreed to align NI with the EU for food with effect from this month. It's a kind of
Yes Minister situation when he criticises his own agreement.
