The Irish government justified problems with the food supply in Northern Ireland with the British exit from the EU. The rules after the Brexit implementation at the turn of the year would provide for a certain number of controls for goods coming from the rest of Great Britain to Northern Ireland, and that would cause disruption, Foreign Minister Simon Coveney told ITV.
“The supermarket shelves were full before Christmas, and now there are some supply chain problems. That is clearly a Brexit problem. “
At the end of last year, Great Britain completed Brexit and left the internal market and the customs union of the European Union. Since then, a trade agreement has been in place that had been negotiated for months. The UK had formally left the EU at the end of January 2020. However, until December 31st there was still a transition phase with EU rules.
