EU suggests

The EU has proposed a "common regulatory area" on the island of Ireland if solutions cannot be found for the post-Brexit border, BBC reported.

Unveiling a draft legal agreement, EU negotiator Michel Barnier said this would be a "backstop" option and called on the UK to come up with alternatives.

He said the text was "no surprise" and was just a legally-worded assessment of what has been agreed so far.

But there has been criticism in the UK at the proposal for Northern Ireland.
