<p>The Northern Ireland Protocol sets out that EU state aid rules will apply in certain
cases where relevant to trade between Northern Ireland and the EU. This does not mean
that state aid rules will apply to Northern Ireland as they do today. State aid provisions
apply only to trade ‘subject to the Protocol’. The Protocol is limited in scope to
the movement of goods and wholesale electricity markets. Where trade is subject to
the Protocol, the supervision and enforcement procedures it sets out will apply, as
will the safety net provided by the UK Internal Market Bill.</p>
