The United Kingdom had been put on notice after the European Commission said the country violated the withdrawal agreement it signed in January.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced Thursday in Brussels that the U.K.’s proposed International Market Bill “is by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith laid down in the withdrawal agreement.” If adopted in its current form, she said, “it will be in full contradiction to the protocol of Ireland-North Ireland.”
