Here's what to know about the revised Northern Ireland Protocol
in Windsor, followed by a press conference Monday, where Sunak and von der Leyen hailed the new agreement as a “decisive breakthrough.”
Brexit had sparked fears of an introduction of cameras or physical checks at the border after Northern Ireland, as a part of Great Britain, left the E.U. Concerns emerged that it could upset the hard-won peace within Northern Ireland and the open border between it and the Republic of Ireland. According the the revised deal, there will be a green lane for traders transporting goods to Northern Ireland exempt from customs controls, and a red lane for goods going to the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the E.U. Sunak has said this will remove any sense of a border in the Irish Sea separating Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K.
