The European Union's Brexit chief Maros Sefcovic said he could reduce physical customs checks across the Irish Sea to just a few lorries a day, APA reports citing Financial Times.
Physical checks would only be made when there is reasonable suspicion of illegal trade smuggling, illegal drugs, dangerous toys or poisoned food, the FT reported, citing an interview with Sefcovic.
There is almost no difference between the United Kingdom's demand for "no checks" and the EU's offer of "minimum checks, done in an invisible manner," the newspaper quoted Sefcovic as saying.
