It is simply not credible nor in good faith with what the EU committed to on NI to maintain a position that well established supermarket chains such as Tesco, Iceland, M&S, Tesco or sainsbury's cannot be trusted to send goods to NI for circulation in NI. 1/3

These goods are sterling packaged by well established companies, there is zero risk that they would use a backdoor to the EU. It is simply not reasonable for the EU to insist these goods are treated as "at risk" putting food and produce supplies to NI on 1st Jan at risk. 2/3

I along with DFM have urgently asked the EU to consider the serious implications and impact on our essential food and produce supply chains from GB and immediately facilitate these goods to flow unfettered to the people of NI from the rest of the UK. 3/3
