Party pledges not to return to power-sharing if new Brexit trading deal does not meet seven conditions it laid down
The DUP has warned Rishi Sunak that the party will not return to power-sharing if he leaves“abandoned to the EU” under any new deal he has cut with Brussels over the Brexit trading arrangements for the region.
In a sign that a deal is imminent, the EU has also summoned diplomats from the 27 member states to a briefing on Friday morning with the UK foreign secretary, James Cleverly, in Brussels for a further meeting with the European commission vice-president, Maroš Šefčovič. But the elimination of the application of EU law seems unlikely as this would entail a complete renegotiation of the principles that lie behind the protocol.
He hinted that any role for the ECJ would remain an issue for the DUP, with Wilson pointing out that “oversight only occurs … to ensure that EU law applies in Northern Ireland”.
