European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic said on Friday that it is essential that the recent change in tone from the UK now leads to tangible solutions in the framework of the Northern Ireland Protocol. Sefcovic continued that there is a genuine sense of urgency related to medical supplies and that he was urging the UK government to make a clear move towards the EU in the area of sanitary and phytosanitary controls. Sefcovic confirmed that he will be meeting with UK Brexit Minister Lord David Frost next week in London.
