Clear statement from @vonderleyen - #EU unity in response to #UK unilateral action to break an International Agreement is strong.
But so too is #EU openness to finding joint agreement, through negotiation and compromise.
Solutions exist with political will.
RT @vonderleyen: In full agreement with @MichealMartinTD: we will never accept unilateral action violating an international agreement.

RT @simoncoveney: This is NOT where we want to be.
But this is the result of a deliberate UK Government strategy of provocation over partnership.
Reckless UK decisions this week have forced #EU into responding to a threatened breach of Int. Law with serious consequences. https://www.rte.ie/news/brexit/2022/0615/1304909-brexit-protocol/

#Ireland and #Norway share responsibility on the UN Security Council for the Syria humanitarian file. We’re committed to ensuring aid gets to all in need, supporting the UN’s work & working with the Turkish government to keep the cross-border aid operation open. @irishmissionun

Visiting UN humanitarian aid operation on Turkish/NW Syria border with Norway’s FM @AHuitfeldt.
2.8m people rely on aid that goes through this crossing on 1000 trucks/month.
#UN Security Council must renew the mandate on July 10th for this UN’s operation to continue.⁩

RT @ThomasByrneTD: Before some UK politicos start talking about “renouncing” the ECHR, can I remind them that while it is not an EU institution, the ECHR is expressly embedded in the Good Friday Agreement AND in the Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the EU.

Spoke with @MarosSefcovic We’re on the same page.
EU remains keen to find a negotiated solution to NIP through partnership & compromise, but we need a partner that is willing to meet us half way!
Instead U.K. Govt moves ahead with unilateral action to break an Int. Agreement.

@SteveAikenUUP @Tracey_utv Steve, you know better than most that I not only want to respond to Unionist concerns re Protocol, but have been actively working with EU Comm for months to shape proposals to do that, while respecting an int treaty. EU is committed to significant compromise but needs a partner.

RT @simoncoveney: Spoke with @trussliz.
UK Govt now proposing to set aside Int Law, reject a partnership approach, ignore majority in NI & deliberately ratchet up tension with an EU seeking compromise.
We remain open to dialogue to find agreement but his approach adds to instability & is no fix.
