flag Northern Ireland unionists use "Stormont Brake" to block new EU chemical rules, citing trade concerns.

flag Unionist parties in Northern Ireland are set to use the "Stormont Brake" for the first time to block new EU rules on chemical packaging and labelling. flag The brake, part of the Windsor Framework, requires 30 assembly members from at least two parties to refer a law to the UK Government, which can then veto its application in Northern Ireland. flag Unionists argue the rules could harm the £1 billion trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, potentially increasing costs and creating trade friction.
