<p>Unfettered access for Northern Ireland businesses to the rest of the UK market
is a longstanding Government policy, underscored and strengthened as a result of the
package of commitments in our Safeguarding the Union Command Paper. The Windsor Framework
(UK Internal Market and Unfettered Access) Regulations 2024 further entrench the legislative
protections for unfettered access.</p><p> </p><p>We will use existing systems, using
commercial information and evidence, to differentiate qualifying Northern Ireland
goods. Operational measures will be in place to prevent avoidance of the rules, drawing
on the anti-avoidance powers we have in law to deal with people looking to abuse the
system.</p><p> </p><p>We will work closely with all Devolved Administrations on arrangements
for non-qualifying goods which move into Great Britain via Northern Ireland.</p><p>
