UK: Will Ask Parliament to Use Powers in Internal Market Bill if EU Acts in Bad Faith

In a statement published on Thursday, the UK government said that it will ask parliament to use powers in the Internal Market Bill if the European Union engages in a material breach of its duties of good faith or other obligations.

“Examples of that would be an insistence that Great Britain (GB)-Northern Ireland tariffs and related provision such as import VAT should be charged in ways that are not related to the real risk of goods entering the EU single market,” the government explained.
