Earlier this month, the Government took several temporary operational steps to avoid disruptive cliff edges which could have affected the delivery of parcel services. These included extending the temporary arrangements that the Government set out on parcels before the end of the transition period, giving further time to parcel operators to prepare for new requirements and minimise the impact on day-to-day lives in Northern Ireland.<\/p>
The Government remains committed to meeting its obligations in the Northern Ireland Protocol and to doing so in a pragmatic and proportionate way, taking full account of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
