@JP_Biz Regardless of the Protocol surely the gentleman involved could set up a shelf subsidiary in Italy and import these European bees to Ireland with no issues?

[Andrew Kirke @AKprofessional]

@jonnycampbell89 I remain bullish on the prospects for the vaccine otherwise.

@JP_Biz Are we going to see border controls / posts on the island of Ireland to enforce this border then as the EU always insisted there would need to be?

@Crop_Safe Great work lads

[Andrew Kirke @AKprofessional]

@RaoulRuparel On 4/ is your point that a future UK govt could implement non regression bar in domestic legislation? If so is that not different from a legally binding international treaty? Surely it's unlikely a future UK government minded to implement such a bar would do so via treaty?

[Andrew Kirke @AKprofessional]

A bit of good news on a bad news day..

[Tech Nation Northern Ireland @tn_nireland]

We have TWO companies representing NI on @TechNation's Applied AI 2.0 Growth Programme 🚀

Massive congratulations @CattleEye & @SonraiLtd

@movetru Great work Naomi!

@Rimbeux @MichaelAodhan Don't disagree that it's not historically been an issue, just that in my view the issues now, presenting an impasse to a deal, appear to primarily be state aid and fisheries (of all things). Good to chat with you!

[Andrew Kirke @AKprofessional]

@Rimbeux @MichaelAodhan Use of that threat as part justification for the UKIM (which also addresses the potential for a repurposive EU interpretation of state aid law to preclude GB companies with NI operations benefiting from state aid) would seem to tell me that much.
