DUBLIN - The Northern Ireland party propping up Britain’s government has urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek a time-limit to the Irish “backstop” in exchange for agreeing to an all-Ireland food customs regime, the Irish edition of the Sunday Times reported without citing sources.
According to the newspaper, the DUP is prepared to discuss an all-island regime for food in exchange for a time limit on the “backstop” clause in Britain’s Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union to help end an impasse over the deal. “The DUP has urged Johnson to seek a time-limit to the backstop, somewhere between three and six years, as a quid pro quo for a pact on food,” said the article.
“We have not received any proposals from the EU or the Irish government to express concerns on the backstop,” senior DUP lawmaker Jeffrey Donaldson told Reuters when contacted regarding the article.
