<p>As set out in the Safeguarding the Union Command Paper, the internal market system
will ensure the smooth flow of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland for
internal UK trade. In line with the Government’s commitments since 2021, these arrangements
establish individual schemes that can be used only by UK internal market traders,
to preserve those benefits for UK traders and to maintain the smooth flow of that
trade. Checks on internal UK movements under the schemes will be removed except those
conducted by UK authorities and required as part of a risk-based or intelligence-led
approach to tackle criminality, abuse of the schemes, smuggling and disease risks.
We will set out further information on the transition to these new arrangements shortly.</p>
