Political problems in Ireland del Norte
Introduction
The uncertainty of what will happen in Northern Ireland is an issue that is not completely resolved. One of the main problems to analyze would be the consequences it would have if you opt for a hard border in case a brexit occurs without a prior agreement. However, on October 17, 2019, Brussels and London reach an agreement where they try to put a solution to avoid this controversy.
Developing
In the event that Brexit finally took place, this territory according to the provisions of the Agreement, will be part of the United Kingdom Customs Union, and must comply with the rules of the European Single Market. Which would mean that the controls and verifications would be in the Ireland Sea and not on the border that separates both territories, since if so it would be receded to a past in which the agricultural communities of the area suffered border controls, closing of closingroad and sectarianism.
Theme to also deal with its effects would be the question of tariffs, about whether products from Great Britain had to be taxed with tariffs. In the agreement it has been established that not all, only the products whose last destination is one of the countries of the twenty -seven, and that they are products that are not going to be processed. However, the question of how Brussels can ensure it is still being left in the air.
Returning to the issue that Ireland of the North must comply with the rules of the European Single Market, it must do so in the fields such as merchandise, VAT, norms in the agricultural sector Phytosanitary controls and taxation on goods and rules on state aid. Ireland of the North will have the duty to impute the exemptions and reduced types of the Republic of Ireland, in order to ensure fair competition throughout the Republic.
In addition, you can continue to be part of the VAT information exchange system with the other member countries. On the other hand, the Northern Ireland Assembly may vote to decide whether protection is maintained with the aim of avoiding a physical border on the island last four years of the commissioning, which should happen when the period of subsequent transition endsAt the British output of the EU, so it would mean that protection will be flexible and not permanent.
It can be understood as a way of preserving peace with Northern Ireland, respecting the agreements of Good Friday, which were signed in 1998. Therefore, it is described in the protocol, it is evident that the twenty -seven members wantSaint of 1998.
conclusion
This in turn has been a dispute, since the United Kingdom, wanted the territorial and constitutional integrity of the country to be respected. On this issue, the protocol, the agreement between London and Brussels, still has fringes in practice, because you cannot “content” all parties, so that the exit of Great Britain of the EU, continues to assume uncertainty about theeconomic repercussions that could bring with them and uncertainty about many aspects related to Northern Ireland.
