The new Brexit deal signed by the U.K. and the European Union on Monday was heralded as a 'turning point' for Northern Ireland, but must still pass muster in Belfast.
In a statement Monday, DUP Leader Jeffrey Donaldson said that his party's opposition to the previous arrangement had been "vindicated" and thanked Sunak and his predecessors for their work at the negotiations table.
He said that the DUP will need to study the detail of the Windsor Framework against the party's "seven tests" to determine whether it "respects and restores Northern Ireland's place within the United Kingdom."The first of these "seven tests" requires a deal to honor the sixth article of the 200-year-old Act of the Union, which stipulates that all U.K.
The fourth condition was for Northern Ireland to have a say over rules allowing goods to move back and forth over the southern border to the Republic, and for no new regulatory barriers to arise between Northern Ireland and the rest of the U.K., unless agreed in Stormont. It also introduces a new mechanism dubbed the "Stormont brake," which gives the Northern Ireland Assembly a say on whether changes to EU goods rules affecting Northern Ireland should apply. Pulling this brake would give the British government a veto over the adoption of a new EU rule.
