Sefcovic on latest round of talks with UK on NI

(14 Jan 2022) European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic said Friday he had in-depth discussions with the UK foreign secretary Liz Truss on the Northern Ireland protocol. Sefcovic told reporters in London that the "solution we found on medicines could serve as a good example of flexibility" in the relationship between the EU and the UK. Truss and Sefcovic had their meeting at Chevening House, the foreign secretary's official country retreat in southeast England. Truss was appointed Britain's lead EU negotiator last month after Brexit Minister David Frost quit, citing disillusionment with the Conservative government's policies on issues including taxation and COVID-19. "I am very much looking forward to our next meeting, and I have the honour to welcome Foreign Secretary to Brussels on the 24th of January," Sefcovic said.
