DEFRA creation of BCP / SPS facilities in Northern Ireland
5 Jan 2023
To facilitate the 'green lane, red lane' SPS arrangements set out in the NI Protocol Bill to differentiate between goods entering NI or the ROI (EU), Lord Benyon confirmed in a letter, dated 28th December 2022, that the UK Government will take on the responsibilities for developing these facilities.
The BCP facilities will be situated at the GB / NI border and enable goods destined for the EU to be subjected to enhanced checks.
There is no timeline or projected completion date provided currently.
