Both the UK and EU have admitted there have been "teething problems" with the so-called Northern Ireland protocol since it came into force on 1 January. What can be done to improve the way it works? Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
The Northern Ireland protocol is the system designed to avoid checks and disruptions for trade on the border of Northern Ireland and the Republic.

Why is it still proving such a stumbling block 6 weeks after the end of the transition period?
Policy Editor Lewis Goodall repots from Belfast.
