Motion TitleAssembly Opposition to the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill

Motion TextThat this Assembly opposes the British Government's reckless Northern Ireland Protocol Bill; agrees that it constitutes a breach of international law; recognises that the majority of people represented by this Assembly voted against Brexit; rejects the claim of the British Government that it is motivated by protecting the Good Friday Agreement; understands that the Protocol is the only available protection from the worst impacts of Brexit for businesses, workers and farmers; further understands that the Protocol affords clear economic advantages through access to the EU Market; and calls on the British Government to desist from unilateral actions and to engage with the European Union through the agreed and available Joint Committee mechanism.
