The
government has warned the EU it is considering action after the bloc imposed
export controls on Covid vaccines and impinged on the post-Brexit deal on
Northern Ireland (NI).
Cabinet
Office minister Michael Gove spoke to the EU on Friday to express concern at
its triggering of an aspect of the NI Protocol to stop the unimpeded flow of
jabs from the bloc into the region, PA media reports.
Gove, the
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, spoke to his counterpart on the EU-UK
joint committee, Maros Sefcovic, to “express the UK’s concern over a lack of
notification from the EU about its actions in relation to the NI protocol”.
“CDL said
the UK would now be carefully considering next steps,” a statement from Downing
Street added.
