The Windsor Framework sets out the way forward for a peaceful and prosperous Northern Ireland by restoring the balance of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. It does so by restoring the smooth flow of trade within the UK internal market, safeguarding Northern Ireland’s place in the Union and addressing the democratic deficit that was otherwise at the heart of the old Protocol.
