The EU agreed on Tuesday to rules allowing pharmaceuticals made in the United Kingdom to be shipped to Northern Ireland, reversing a post-Brexit treaty requirement that items delivered to the UK province be EU-compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move is intended to ease tensions between Brussels and London over Northern Ireland, which will be subject to EU customs under the rules of a protocol in the treaty that took effect last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Today, the (EU) Council adopted a directive and a regulation to secure the continued supply of medicines to Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Ireland, and Malta,” the body representing the bloc’s member states said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the beginning of this year, the newly established EU directive will be in effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
