<p>The Windsor Framework restores the balance needed to uphold the Belfast (Good Friday)
Agreement in all its dimensions. It puts in place a new legal and constitutional framework,
changing the text of the treaty and scrapping more than 1,700 pages of EU rules on
internal UK trade.</p><p>While we have been upfront that this does not remove EU rules
entirely in Northern Ireland, the less than 3 percent of EU rules which remain are
the minimum necessary to maintain maximum market access and free trade for NI businesses.</p><p>The
changes we have made include the Stormont Brake, which enables amended or replaced
EU rules to be vetoed where they would have significant and lasting effects on everyday
lives. This is in addition to the existing veto the UK has for new EU rules. This
ends the automatic presumption of dynamic alignment of EU rules.</p><p>The draft legal
instruments underpinning the package are set out in full on the Government's website.</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-windsor-framework</p>
