EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Maroš Šefčovič tells Stormont’s NI Exec office committee that there will be a solution to the ban on chilled meat coming from GB ➡️ NI (the “sausage wars” issue) in the next 48hrs 🌭
On medicines, Maroš Šefčovič says EU wants to ensure NI citizens have "full access" to medicines they need, but "won't be easy" as would require a change in EU rules, but committed to do this if it requires legislative change on the EU side 💊
Referring to recent tensions in NI, says "We have been gravely concerned about the negative rhetoric about the protocol which is after all an instrument to protect peace and stability" #IrishSeaBorder
Šefčovič arguing there can be major benefits of the protocol to NI saying "You are the only place in the world where you are operating on two trading markets at the same time...and it's cost free...you don't have to pay for access"
