Northern Ireland Government

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to paragraph 66 of the Windsor Framework, published on 27 February 2023, CP 806, what is included within the appropriate remedial measures.

Answer

Remedial measures can be taken under international law. Any action the EU took in response to a decision not to add a rule to the Protocol could not involve the blanket removal of market access, for example, and a remedial measure should relate to the rule in question. And of course the UK would be able to challenge any disproportionate response through arbitration.
