The NI protocol was never and isn’t needed unless you’re saying that the EU is a recognised nation state with the right to claim a national border.The CTA applies between UK and Ireland and the same clearance protocols between Eire and UK as existed before and after we both joined the EUSSR.
I`m gonna regret this
The EU is a trading block, composed of sovereign Nations, and has a common trade border.
Eire is still a member of that, the UK now isn`t.
To protect its borders each Sovereign Country of the EU agrees to have a border with the UK (or any other 3rd country). There is no EU customs/border agency, each country has it
s own.
There is, because of the CTA no border between the UK and Eire.
That is a Common Travel Area…not a Common Trade Area.

Goods between UK and Eire are not in free trade.

However due to the Good Friday Agreement and now the NI Protocol, there should be no border between NI/Eire.
The NI Protocol as part of the “oven ready” deal was/is an attempt to square a circle.(Or triangle)
- Because NI is part of the UK there should be no trade border.
- Because Eire is part of the EU there can be no trade border.
- Because of GFA and NI Protocol no border between NI and Eire.
But there needs to be a trade border between the UK and the EU.
Simple logic tells us that this impossible.
The well known snake oil salesman Johnson sold it though.
It was sold to the EU on the condition we, the UK would fulfill certain conditions. Repeatedly we have failed to do so.
Watch this space.
So goods or people imported from Eire to UK.
Or from US to NI via Shannon in 1971 or 2015 or 2022 what supposedly changed.
If the EU doesn’t have ( an illegal ) national border then how do you get free circulation within the EU after crossing any EU member state border.
Tell us more about inland clearance and bonded transport and bonded warehousing.
Yes the CTA is for the free movement of people between Eire and UK.
Why do we need any so called hard border between Eire and UK in view of all the above.
Bearing in mind the EU has no right to any so called EU border in Ireland and as such would negate the CTA.While the stipulation for border only clearance would obviously set a precedent of no inland clearance of non EU freight being allowed anywhere within the EU.
I will try to unravel that word soup.

Pre Brexit there was(almost) no customs between Eire and UK. Since Brexit there is.
There are no border posts, but there are procedures. (edit to correct…14hr25…There are customs clearance posts etc, BUT they are not physically on the NI/Eire border)
Free movement of UK and Eire citizens is allowed as per CTA, but not other EU citizens.

You dont yet understand the UK/EU position, don
t confuse it even more.
(But it isn`t good news)

What? The EU is a Free Trade Area…regarding trade, if goods are free in one country, they are free in them all. It is initially a country that clears the goods, but then the who;e of the EU is open to those goods.
Carryfast:

Because the UK and Eire are not in a common FTA.
They are in the CTA, but again not a FTA

True, which is why there isnt one. The EU said it didn
t want one. It would go against the CTA and the GFA.
Johnson provided the “Magical” Brexit deal…

Sorry, lost.
If you think the current Brexit, NI/Eire/EU/UK arrangement makes no sense at all, we agree.
