Today the UK Government released a position paper setting out its proposals in relation to Northern Ireland and Ireland. Following on from negotiations with the EU in July, the UK Government's paper addresses:
- upholding the Belfast ('Good Friday') Agreement;
- maintaining the Common Travel Area and associated rights;
- avoiding a hard border for the movement of goods; and
- aiming to preserve North-South and East-West cooperation, including on energy.
Alongside this, the Government has published two additional data papers with figures on trade and the movement of people available here.
