we have secured a key negotiating objective, the introduction of a new green lane for goods destinedrn ireland, with a separate red lane for those going to the eu. within the green lane, burdens of customs or accuracy will be scrapped and replaced with data sharing of ordinary existing commercial information. routine checks and tests will also be scrapped, the only checks will be those required to stop smugglers and criminals. and our new green lane, we hope, will lead to a broad encumbrance of range of businesses across the united kingdom. i am pleased to say we have also permanently protected terror free movement of all types of steel into northern ireland. and for goods going the other way from northern ireland to great britain, we have scrapped export declarations, delivering, finally, completely unfettered trade. and mr speaker, the commits to establish the green lane is achieved by a legally binding amendments to the text of the treaty itself. this is fundamental, far—reaching change and it permanently removes the border in the irish sea. mr speaker, perhaps the irish sea. mr s

one of the things that has taken place is this idea of green lanes and red lanes for produce. so these are products that are going from the united kingdom towards northern ireland, across the iris, see if they are destined then for the republic of ireland, which remains within the european union, they'll go into a red lane and will have all the checks that any goods entering the you would have the green lanes, basically for just goods that are going from great britain into northern ireland. now this science complex, frankly, it is the details of this deal are unbelievably complex. i've been working on, breaks it for many, many years now. and it, yes, stream the dance, the details of exactly how the oversight is looking. but from a british, from a you perspective, they really wanted to show the u. k. this new u. k government that they're all workable solutions and they've reduced much of the checks that have been in place since that deal came as force in the beginning of 2021. shagbark in brussels. known football. a little massey has one fif us male player of the year award for

wait to see how cumbersome the requirements might be to send goods through the new streamlined green laneow is the detail around the deal. we need to understand how green the green lane actually is. do you think suppliers in gb will be reassured by this? remember, we will be asking gb traders to do things that they don't do for the rest of the uk. they don't have to be part of a trusted trader scheme for england, scotland or wales, so for a small amount of the market we will be asking them to join schemes, provide data, potentially be audited, for what is a small part of their market. so it is about how this works in practice? we live this, we operate this every single day right down to the last box. we need to know how it affects us, how it affects our customers. if businesses back the new deal it will strengthen rishi sunak�*s hand in facing down any critics. in the long brexitjourney today we have arrived at a new destination, but it may take time for the full picture to become clear. what businesses make of this deal is really only one part of the equation here because northern irelan

anyone who has been to an airport is familiar with this concept of going through the green lane or thee lane for european arrivals. why did something so simple take so long to get to? vivian: two differenteasons. first, we did not have much data. when t u.k. was still in the europeannion, there was very little information about goods traveling to the eu, going to rthern ireland. know how tradeorks mucha we better. the second is about trust and we had a very bad relationship between the u.k. and e.u. and if you don't have trust between the parties, the eu was basically not trusting the u.k. would make sure there would be goods that would not meet the eu rules entering the eu sing a market. now the relationship seems to be rebuilng in theu seems to be looking at the u.k. again as a potentially trustworthy partner. anchor: this has broken trust in the u.k. as well, between people and the government, the government and westminster and edinburgh but also belfast where you are as well. these changes will affect customs, vat, are these changes likely to help keep the peace in northern ireland

do you need to qualify for that, to get into that green lane? is still some detail to go through on the business front. broadly it's being welcomed. they hope that in the future trading will get easier across the irish sea. the big political question is, does this deal go far enough to satisfy the unionist party here, the dup, their demands? that matters because in this building behind me there has not been a functioning government for a year. that is because the dup pulled out of government in protest over the current arrangement. they are not giving anyone a quick answer tonight. they say they want to look through the detail of this deal, line by line, and from a legal perspective, they want to know does this restore northern ireland's place within the u.k., restore the integrity of the u.k. market from their perspective? they set out seven tests to judge this by. they'll be going through that tonight but will not jump to any conclusions. they need to weigh whether this sufficiently meets their demands to decide whether they can support it. th

the border posts are there very specifically for the red lane, because, as part of having a green lanehin our uk internal market, if goods are actually going to the republic of ireland, ie, going into the eu, well, that's not our country and it's entirely reasonable that we have checks for those types of goods and we also check when we suspect criminality or smuggling. and that's something that the government has always said that it would do and has been longstanding practice, actually. there will still be checks in the green channel. i mean, far less than there are at the moment. there will still be checks. no, there won't be routine checks for goods moving from great britain to northern ireland. there will be checks where we suspect criminalisty or smuggling. and i think everyone listening will think, well, that's a sensible thing to do. if we think people are breaking the law, we should be checking things. and i don't think anyone would disagree with that. the crucial thing, though, is that there shouldn't be physical checks of ordinary goods going between great britain and northern

instead, they will use a new, green lane.t's a proposal that has been vocal and by many mps, including the leader of the labour party. >> the red and green lane proposal is a good one. it will make life easier for business. it will enable the people of northern ireland to participate more freely in the economic life of the u.k. it has our full support. reporter: the leader of northern ireland's democratic union's party said while the proposal addresses some of the concerns that caused its boycott, issues remain. >> i understand that we have to comply with the you laws, that's fair. but what about? ? trading within the united kingdom those are issues and questions we will examine closely as we read reporter: the legal text. reporter:this is not yet a done deal. u.k. mps will vote on the new arrangements for a province that has been without a devout government since last february. >> the situation in the east of ukraine is intensifying as russian troops are said to have stepped up their offensive in the region. the town ofbakhm

the green lanes are just for goods going from great britain into northern ireland. this sounds complex. frankly, it is. the details of this deal are unbelievably complex. i've been reporting on brexit for years and it is extremely dense how the oversight is looking. from an eu perspective, they really wanted to show this new u.k. government that there are workable solutions and they have reduced much of the checks that have been in place. brent: there is still a little bit of work to be done. this is not the end of the road for the prime. he still needs to sell this deal to his conservative party. >> he needs to sell the deal to the conservative party and closely aligned with that, he needs to sell it to those politicians in northern ireland who feel very closely aligned to britain. this is where it is going to be very difficult. we know for those people it is a question of identity and some people have said there cannot be any role for eu laws or the eu court of justice, there can't be any place for that in northern ireland all because it is not different from the

with all this talk of red and green lanes. it's clear, this is still a customs border. is the external border of the single market with the rest of the united kingdom and they will god it, he said with the laws and all that questions also about the storm on break this soul written right? supposedly given to know them not to be able to veto any of those laws in future that they don't like. the european commissions wording says this will be used only in the most exceptional circumstances. so now i was asked what his view was and hit it. it would require further talks with politicians in northern knowledge to codify exactly how this mechanism would be used as small cracks appear in the prime minister. will be hoping very much that the passage of time doesn't allow those cracks to get any bigger. i'm sure that can we say soon, next views on bricks itself being questioned by some m. p. 's and london after what he said about the benefits of the deed for northern ireland. jonah. well, some questioning certainly about some of the comments that he has made. he made no non and al

there'll be a green lane gone. back and forth between . the mainland and forth between. the mainland and northern. though he did concede there's still would be checks on up to 5% of those goods . but up to 5% of those goods. but that, i guess in a way is progress from a situation that was truly, truly awful. also the european union will allow us to set own rates of excise duty and vat, but of course, they can concede that happily , knowing concede that happily, knowing that this is a government that doesn't cut taxes, it's one that puts them up and they're expecting labour, of course, to be in office in 18 months time. the absolute nub of this agreement, whether it passes the fit and proper test is around the of sovereignty. clearly if a court in strasbourg if the european union's own court in strasbourg still

we go to green lane and red lane, doesn't this involve a lot of trust? well, certainly it is going to be open to, to trust to trade is at least at least initially both the u. k. and the you have committed 1st of all, to working more closely with northern ireland businesses in the future. and that is something that they have been crying out for really, for, for some time, the arrangements are going to be phased and we're still reading the, the text to understand in full what the arrangements will be. they are not going to be simple. and in terms of trading arrangements, in terms of what's allowed, what rules have to be followed? there's a lot of complexity going to be there. so i think we'll be looking at the stale for a little bit a little while to work out exactly what it means. but for sure the us saying we trust the u. k. a little bit more now, but it may also the u. k. is agreeing to not to diverge too much from a new rules. i wanted to ask you about the negotiations because they've been going on for so long now. who do you think gave more ground in

and we understand this is something to do with green lanes , red lines, goods that go lanes, red linesds that go to ireland no longer to northern ireland no longer having don't having to be checked. we don't know the full details, but this is a sales man's job from the prime minister. now it just oh, it totally is. and i mean , what it totally is. and i mean, what they're trying to do is say the goods that come the northern ireland the uk stay ireland from the uk will stay inside northern ireland and they'll not be checks put on them. paperwork will them. but the paperwork will still there. that's one of still be there. that's one of the things we don't know about the things we don't know about the the paperwork's the date. if the paperwork's gone a lot is a movement because that paperwork through those two sas a cost about that paperwork through those two sas checks for a cost abou that paperwork through those two sas chelastfor a cost abou that paperwork through those two sas chelast year cost abou that paperwork through those two sas chelast year alone. iou that paperwork through th

on the green lanes. arrangements even on the green lanes . ou have suggested lanes. and as you have suggested , well, there are much bigger questions about the assembly's role in. all of this part of it must be said by westminster as well. and of course we have already this an already talked about this an awful the role of the ecj, awful lot, the role of the ecj, it's as a last it's meant be only as a last resort . what that resort. what again does that really practically mean? and thatis really practically mean? and that is what the dup's concerns are . i think the government's are. i think the government's strategy on all of this would seems frankly to be working thus far is essentially to get else on board, to get the conservative behind this. clearly, the opposition parties are westminster , they are are in westminster, they are here in northern ireland and almost a slightly isolate the dup is the only people who might be objecting to this new protocol. adding to that , protocol. adding to that, there'll be lots more money chucked at north

they've tried to do is just a kate, the british government, in the sense of these, these red and green lanes. this might sound like my new shy for a province northern ireland of less than 2000000 people. well, why is this such a big deal? but this is really all about the philosophy of keeping that border on the island of ireland. open between the republic of ireland that remains within the european union and northern ireland, which is big it saying wants to remain as close to the united kingdom in a regulatory fashion as possible. bearing in mind the good friday agreement, which prevented the troubles, you know that the violence was taking place in the ninety's and earlier. and that's been the real concern over this. i think it was so interesting in that press conference between tonight and on the line and they were so keen to express this kind of calmness now after many terrible years between the british government and the european union, all the mood music from the capitols and here in brussels, the officials that i've been speaking to that have been negotiating this deal over the last cou

as you said at the top, they leave says you got a green lane for goods moving from grey printed, no thought and, and staying in northern ireland, the e u seems to be content with that. but if the goods going from great britain into long island and the going on into the e u market, then they will be subject to full checks controls as they would be if they were entering the you from elsewhere. that's, that's significant. and the it does reduce some of the concerns which have been expressed about the protocol within northern ireland. and we could therefore see some of those who opposed the restoration of default government in nordland, returning. we could be see some of the contestation taken out the protocol because ease of a reset to u. k. e u relations post breaks it. yeah, well, i mean, i wanted to talk to you about the reaction in northern ireland. i mean, from the people there from businesses, there is what do you think that's going to be working at the moment that there's a lot of um, documents around people are going through the details. i think they've been of a cautious welcome to th

under the windsor framework, tradable flow freely via green lanes and red lanes.and goods for the republic of ireland go in the red lane, while the checkfree green lane is meant for goods staying in northern ireland. the british prime minister says this decisive breakthrough will protect northern ireland's place within the union, while still safeguarding its sovereignty. >> i also want to speak directly to the unionist community. i understand, and have listened to your frustrations and concerns. it is clearly in the interest of the people, and those of us who are passionate about the cause of unionism, for power- sharing to return. of course, parties will want to consider the agreement in detail , a process which will need time and care. >> so far, there is cautious optimism over the deal, but the head of northern ireland's democratic unionist party, is making it clear that they are not yet onboard. >> we need to look at the legal text, we need to get legal advice on that, we need to make our own assessments and come to a considered view on this. i hope that we ca

perhaps even more crucial here, is what happens, there is talk of green and red lanes, and the red lane go from northern ireland into the republic of ireland and into the eu single market, and the green lane would be for goods that are intended to stay in northern ireland, and they would be subject to much lighter touch regulation. but how much lighter touch? with their still be obstruction? this is absolutely key, because while the european union want to maintain the integrity of the single market, so does the uk, and wants to maintain the integrity of the united kingdom. detail is absolutely crucial. it needs to be sold to the democratic unionist party, but also to mps. we are hearing that source a jar suggesting, and this is fluid, many moving parts, that we may have vote in the house of commons next week, if you have been missing those brexit moments, and that may well be a moment of truth, especially for those tory mps who were worried that this, in a way, waters down the brexit that they wanted. the death toll in the earthquake that struck turkey and syria nearly two weeks ago is
