What is Article 16 and How Will it Impact the EU’s Decision on the Brexit Trade Deal?

Last updated on November 20th, 2021 at 10:46 am

USA -Article 16 of the Northern Irelands Protocol expresses that “if the use of this measure prompts societal, economic or environmental challenges that are obligated to continue, or to alteration of trade, the United Kingdom or the EU may unilaterally take suitable safety measures.

Furthermore, it states that steps will be needed to “least upset” the functioning of the Protocol. 

In the wake of executing shielding measures, arrangements should proceed, with the actions being mutually audited every three months.

However, merchandise arriving into Northern Ireland from the remainder of the UK is currently likely to go through controls and checks, adding up to what exactly is being alluded to as an “Irish Sealine”. 

The British government’s rehashed threats to opt-out of the post-Brexit trade arrangements in Northern Ireland have implied Brussels to drift the EU’s choices regarding reacting to it. 

If the UK calls for Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol, some portion of the Brexit deal will be suspended to some extent as part of a globally binding deal.

Accordingly, the EU could end the Brexit economic alliance, igniting a trade conflict between the EU and Britain.

On Thursday, Brexit Minister David Frost expressed that both nations have consented to further dialogue, we are hoping an agreement should be possible.

Brussels needs to prevent London from harming previously ruined relations and impel Northern Ireland into more vulnerability. 

The Protocol secures the EU’s single market by staying away from a politically delicate, strict land border on the island of Ireland, rather than making an internal UK trade barrier in the Irish Sea. 

From the beginning of the discussions following the 2016 Brexit mandate, Brussels clarified that the Irish line was one of three fundamental subjects to settle before official agreements were concluded. 

 Moreover, The UK government has deferred forcing new checks on goods sent from Britain and is requesting a total overhaul of the trading system. What’s more, the EU’s response would almost certainly rely upon how widely the UK planned to utilize Article 16.
