<p>The UK Government has committed to delivering unfettered access for Northern Ireland
businesses in legislation, including through the UK Internal Market Bill and the Qualifying
Northern Ireland Goods Regulations.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Internal Market Bill will
prohibit new checks and controls on qualifying Northern Ireland goods, and through
the mutual recognition principle will enable qualifying Northern Ireland goods to
be placed on the market in Great Britain without additional approvals. This will ensure
direct trade from Northern Ireland to Great Britain will continue as it does now.</p><p>
</p><p>The non-discrimination principle contained in the bill will also apply fully
to qualifying Northern Ireland goods. This principle will apply to certain types of
regulatory requirements not captured by mutual recognition, for example on transportation
and manner of sale, and will prevent requirements that discriminate against qualifying
Northern Ireland goods by putting them at a disadvantage when sold in Great Britain.</p><p>
</p><p>Furthermore, through the UK Common frameworks programme we will work with the
devolved administrations to ensure that coherent approaches are maintained across
the UK in frameworks policy areas from the end of the transition period.</p><p><br></p>
