Windsor Framework: Business leaders support new deal

BBC News:

Major businesses including Amazon, Sainsbury’s, Airbus and Coca Cola have backed the Windsor Framework in an open letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

They have also called for the Northern Ireland Executive to be restored.

The new deal seeks to reduce the frictions on Great Britain-to-Northern Ireland trade

The business leaders are from the Confederation of British Industry’s Presidents’ Committee and Northern Ireland Council.

The framework was signed to alter Brexit’s Northern Ireland Protocol and was announced after months of talks.

Under the agreement, goods from Great Britain destined for Northern Ireland will travel through a new “green lane”, with a separate “red lane” for goods at risk of moving onto the Republic of Ireland and the EU.
