Northern Ireland Affairs Committee publishes letter from Environment Secretary

Key Points: 
  • The Committee published a report on Brexit and Fisheries in Northern Ireland in September 2018 but was disappointed by the lack of urgency expressed in the Governments response to the report issued in December.
  • The Secretary of States letter points to welcome progress on resolving the dispute over the Voisinage agreement a long-standing agreement permitting fishing vessels from Northern Ireland and Ireland reciprocal access to each others territorial waters.
  • However, little action has been taken to resolve the long-running issue of illegal oyster farming in Lough Foyle.
  • On the Chairs request to take action on workforce shortages in the Northern Ireland fishing fleet, the Secretary of States response does not appear to recognise the current importance of foreign workers in the industry and does not commit to any specific action to address the issue.

Experts on international peace, trade and public law questioned on technological solutions to NI border

Key Points: 
  • As Brexit negotiations take a renewed focus on technological solutions to the NI border, the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee asks experts how proposed solutions might affect cross border peace and trade.
  • The Committee will also consider how the Withdrawal Agreement affects the framework for UK-Irish relations set out in the Good Friday Agreement, and how cross-border cooperation and trade would be affected by leaving the EU on WTO terms.
  • Emerging proposals to break the Brexit deadlock, such as the Malthouse Compromise, advocate technological solutions to the Northern Ireland border to provide alternative arrangements to the backstop.
  • As part of its inquiry into the implications of the Withdrawal Agreement and the backstop for Northern Ireland, the NI Affairs Committee will consider the potential for a technological solution to be reached in time for 29 March 2019.
