The Windsor Framework - New trade arrangements for Northern Ireland and Great Britain
With the Windsor Framework, the European Union and the United Kingdom have created a new basis for the trade in goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The agreement, which was presented in February 2023, replaces the previous Northern Ireland Protocol and is intended to reduce barriers to trade without jeopardising the integrity of the EU single market. A key innovation is the dual-track system for the movement of goods. A ‘green corridor’ enables simplified procedures for products that remain in Northern Ireland, while a ‘red corridor’ is provided for goods that are transported further into the EU and are subject to the usual customs and health checks. Companies must be fully converted to the new regulations by 31 March 2025.
