Moving Beyond the Windsor Framework - Amendment 2
Leave out all after ‘this Assembly’ and insert:
‘recognises the need for the continued operation of the Windsor Framework; acknowledges that specific arrangements for Northern Ireland remain vital, including to prevent a hard border and protect the all-island economy; further acknowledges the need to continue to streamline processes relating to the movement of goods across between Great Britain and the EU, and acknowledges progress in this area while encouraging further engagement, including the conclusion of a comprehensive EU-UK veterinary agreement; notes the failure to address new barriers to trade on the island of Ireland as promised in Article 11 of the Windsor Framework, including in relation to services trade and the free movement of people; and calls on the UK Government and the EU to work positively to address all outstanding issues, with the aim of minimising barriers to trade both East-West and North-South and to work to increase the democratic representation of the people of Northern Ireland via observer status in the European Parliament, reflecting this region's obligations under EU law and the birth right of its citizens to both European and UK citizenship.’
