A deal on the Northern Ireland Protocol could be sealed early next week, after more than a year of negotiations.
It aims to ensure free movement of trade across the Irish land border by conducting checks between Northern Ireland and Great Britain instead. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to meet EU leaders this weekend at the Munich Security Conference, which European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is also due to attend.
A key question for the DUP and Northern Ireland businesses will be to what extent checks and paperwork are eliminated., which it says must be met for it to end its boycott of devolved government in Northern Ireland. This could prove a major sticking point for some Conservative MPs who say "full sovereignty" cannot be restored if any part of the UK is still subject to EU law.
Talks to try and resolve issues with the treaty have now spanned three prime ministers and have been happening, on and off, since the autumn of 2021.
