Northern Ireland is the only territory in the world able to trade goods freely between Great Britain and the European Union. As such, it provides enormous opportunities for businesses but also many potential pitfalls in adhering to the raft of laws and legislation.
The Windsor Framework was announced on 27 February, 2023 and aims to simultaneously protect Northern Ireland’s place in the Union and the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, Internal UK trade and also preserve the integrity of the EU Single Market. It aims to address issues faced by citizens and businesses in Northern Ireland as a result of post-Brexit trading arrangements and improve the operation of the previous Northern Ireland Protocol.
