"Aodhán Connolly, director of the Northern Ireland Retail Consortium, publicly praised the government’s “excellent engagement” this week after a meeting on Tuesday with Lord David Frost, the UK minister who leads on Brexit implementation, and the Northern Ireland secretary Brandon Lewis."
"Connolly wants Brussels to accept that “an auditable and certified supply chain”, underpinned by the proposed Digital Assistance Scheme, should be enough for the EU to take a more pragmatic, risk-based approach to dealing with what he calls the “minuscule” risk to the EU single market of goods from Great Britain leaking across the Northern Ireland border with the Republic."

I think the thing is that before the Covid thing, they would have ensured everything is connected as needed, but not now!
As it happens, now I've managed to get it to work, I find that I don't really need it especially as Marge does most of the driving now.
On the other hand, I have now discovered that there is no AC cooling in the glove box, as there was in the Mk7, or at least I can't find any way of activating it. An 'improvement' I suppose!

Based on past experiences that is not advisable, but it is up to the UK to solve the problems they created.

Officially.
It's in the contract.
Ask your boss Von der Leyen that used it once already.

You know the difference of course between proposing something and actually performing?
The speech was the first time the president addressed the whole European Parliament since last month's row over vaccine supplies, when the Commission inflamed political sensitivities by proposing export controls from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland. Although the plan was quickly withdrawn, it was considered a fiasco and provoked immediate condemnation from London, Dublin and Belfast.

If it hadn't been for the immediate uproar are you suggesting that it would not have been immediately implemented?

The EU commission has decided to but not triggered art16. So what harm was done?
Dear Brexiteers what is so difficult to understand here?
