My feeling now is that the tories want to move the UK to WTO terms and are trying to push the EU in that direction. Their response to that by getting rid of checks on 80% of british goods in NI seems designed to get around any accusations that this is their fault.
The EU is obviously worried about plant and animal diseases entering the single market via Britain and threatening its agriculture industry, and remember is already in a stand-off over fishing.
Last month they spoke to business leaders in NI and it sounds like they are showing real consideration to their needs. A lot more than the UK government have thats for sure.
