fair for disputes between the UK and the EU relating to the Protocol to be settled in the EU Court of Justice, the court of one of the parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d

this should be the sole route for settling disputes in future,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n<p>Frost had also proposed that a so-called \u201cinterim agreement\u201d be implemented in order to \u201cdeal with the most acute problems, including trade frictions, subsidy control, and governance\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOur preference would be to reach a comprehensive solution dealing with all the issues,\u201d Frost wrote, going on to say that such an interim agreement would \u201cstill leave many underlying strains unresolved\u201d, and would be \u201cprovisional by nature\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UK has proposed a number of possible ways forward, but regrettably it has not so far been possible to make progress even on what the core elements of an interim agreement might be,\u201d Frost said. \u201cA solution needs to be found urgently early next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For as long as there is no agreed solution, we remain ready to use the Article 16 safeguard mechanism if that is the only way to protect the prosperity and stability of Northern Ireland and its people,\u201d Frost also warned.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\"
