Legal action has resumed by the EU against the UK following the publication of the bill that would overturn the Northern Ireland Protocol.
A senior EU official has warned that the UK could be brought before the European Court of Justice within two months over unilateral action that London took last year.
The commission has also announced fresh legal action over the alleged failure of the UK to build and staff border control posts at Northern Ireland ports and an alleged failure by the UK to provide real time data on the movement of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The European Commission has also revealed what it calls large scale attempted smuggling of goods into the single market via Northern Ireland.
