answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>The annexes to the Protocol set out the small fraction of EU rules that would apply in the event that the backstop was in effect - though as we have been clear, we fully expect alternative arrangements to be in place to avoid the need for its use by the end of 2020.</p><p>In that scenario, the only EU rules that apply would be the fraction strictly necessary to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland and give frictionless access to the EU market for all goods from Northern Ireland’s businesses. That includes, as we have set out in the explainer to the Agreement and other accompanying documents, product standards on industrial goods and agricultural goods. But the net effect in a backstop would be significantly increased powers and flexibility for a restored Northern Ireland Assembly and for Parliament. For example, the Protocol is clear that in the case of non-harmonised goods (such as clothing), the placing of goods on the market would be a matter for the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 12/12/2018 16:22:25 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
