UK Secretary David Davis is reported to be working on plans for Northern Ireland to operate under a dual Brexit-EU regulatory status after UK, similar to the system that sees Lichtenstein operate under Swiss and European Economic Area regulations simultaneously. The plans are reported to include a 10-mile special economic zone, allowing the majority of cross-border traffic, such as local traders and dairy farmers, to proceed without border checks. However, the European Commission and the Democratic Unionist Party could still reject the plans.
