Abstract

The UK government plans to reduce trade friction between Great Britain and Northern Ireland by implementing a new "UK internal market system" that will eliminate the need for checks on goods moving from Britain to Northern Ireland. This move is expected to persuade the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to end its boycott of Northern Ireland's devolved government. The proposed changes do not require approval from the European Union (EU), and Ireland's deputy premier has expressed no objections. While some experts believe the plan is more about presentation than substantive change, it is seen as a positive step towards restoring power-sharing in Northern Ireland.
