German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday warned against breaking the Northern Ireland protocol agreement unilaterally, after a report saying Britain is set to ditch large parts of the protocol. "We have found a good way for Northern Ireland and no one should unilaterally override the arrangement which we have agreed together," Scholz told journalists at a joint news conference with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo.
De Croo said not abiding by the protocol would create a big problem in the European Union's internal market. "Our message is quite clear: Don't touch this ... If that agreement would be revoked, then I would think that the whole system will be revoked. I would not see any other solution," De Croo said.
