The Northern Ireland Assembly will not only be able to comment on the rules of the EU’s internal market, to which it still belongs, but also block their application in the territory.

He agreement reached this Monday between the United Kingdom and the European Union (EU) to reform the Northern Ireland Protocol to introduce the so-called ‘Stormont Brake’, a new instrument that would allow the Northern Ireland Assembly to restrict the application of new community laws in the area.
The document introduces the so-called ‘Stormont Brake’, the name by which the Northern Irish Assembly is known, which not only allows Northern Ireland to express its views on the rules of the European Union’s internal market (EU), to which it still belongs , but also blocks its application on the territory.
“This will establish a clear process for the democratically elected Assembly to apply an emergency brake” to implement changes to community rules about property that would have a “significant and lasting” effect on their daily lives, Sunak explained.
If this Stormont “brake” is activated, the UK government could veto the application of these new laws in Northern Ireland, he added.
This instrument gives the institutions involved in the historic Good Friday peace agreement (1998) on the territory a new and powerful protection, according to London and Brussels.
