Brexit: The UK and EU divorce is getting more difficult by the day with Europe weighing in on the Irish border




The Brexit divorce looks set to become more difficult as the EU commission published its white paper on Irish-UK border issue.

While the commission has said it will not offer solutions it has re-emphasised the pressure on the UK government to come up with viable options for dealing with the many complexities that will be faced once the Norther Ireland boarder becomes the EU’s only land frontier with the UK.

Difficulty arises with the boarder in terms of trade, travel and customs, with the EU opposing the British governments desire to keep a relatively open boarder with the Republic as it exists now with only minimal customs implemented post-Brexit.
