Description

Following UK exit from the European Union (EU), the Windsor Framework (incorporating former arrangements under the Northern Ireland Protocol) requires Northern Ireland to continue to adhere to the EU Official Controls set out in Regulation 2017/625, ref regarding the arrangement of official controls, including the designation of NRLs. Furthermore, NRLs for NI must be separately designated from those in GB, whereas prior to EU exit, NRLs were designated on a UK-wide basis. Additionally, under the Windsor Framework arrangements, NI NRLs must be located in an EU member state or within European Economic Area (EEA) i.e. they cannot be located within any part of the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland..
