Statement By European Commission Vice-President MaroÅ¡ Å efÄoviÄ Following Today s Announcement By The UK Government Regarding The Protocol On Ireland / Northern Ireland Date
03/03/2021
Following the UK government s statement today, Vice-President ŠefÄoviÄ has expressed the EU s strong concerns over the UK s unilateral action, as this amounts to a violation of the relevant substantive provisions of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland and the good faith obligation under the Withdrawal Agreement. This is the second time that the UK government is set to breach international law.
This also constitutes a clear departure from the constructive approach that has prevailed up until now, thereby undermining both the work of the Joint Committee and the mutual trust necessary for solution-oriented cooperation.
London: Britain on Monday appealed for a mystery individual infected with a highly transmissible Brazilian variant of the novel coronavirus to come forward, more than two weeks after they tested positive but failed to give proper contact details.
Britain said six cases had been detected of the “P.1” variant identified in the Brazilian city of Manaus, against which current vaccines appear to be less effective. Two were in South Gloucestershire in England and three in Scotland.
But a sixth individual in England, one of more than a million people tested on Feb. 12-13, had yet to be identified.
“If you’ve had a test on the 12th or 13th of February, (and) haven’t had your results back, please get in touch,” vaccination minister Nadhim Zahawi told Times Radio. “We are working with the postal system to try and locate them.” The P.1 variant shares significant mutations with a variant first detected in South Africa known as B.1.351, which has raised similar concerns.
