I have a few questions on the whole #Article16 row, and row-back.
Though I understand it's FAR more exciting to report on the inevitable political #PileOn / #AxeGrinding / #CasusBelli, there is actually an agreed Protocol and procedures.
So...

1a) Have folks read #Article16 of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland?
It's on p13 of this PDF: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl… and is quite short [left pic].
1b) Have they read Annex 7 [right pic, p62 of PDF] which describes the procedures to be followed?

Assuming the answers to (1a) & (1b) are Yes:
2) Given the EU appears to have considered these to be "exceptional circumstances" was the UK notified via the #JointCommittee, and was all relevant information provided?
(Papers should be here, eventually: ec.europa.eu/info/relations…)

The #Brexit #Protocol Press Release from UK Gov today was titled
“Major £650 million investment for Northern Ireland” 💸
Which is one way of putting it.
Another might be: “This is costing us a pretty packet… & we’re only warming up”.

Most of that £££££ is to fund a Trader Support Service #TSS to help businesses manage the new regime for getting goods into NI from GB & RoW.
The TSS is "new & unprecedented".
See @AnnaJerzewska's razor sharp analysis of quite what that means.

So.
Never been done before.
It's only being announced now.
Still at procurement stage.
Yet UKG promise it will be operational in September.
Movement of goods from GB-NI will be depending on it come 1 January 2021.
Let’s just say, we are cutting it fine.
