DUBLIN (Reuters) - The European Union's finance chief said Britain's decision to make unilateral changes to Northern Irish Brexit arrangements raised questions over whether it can be trusted in future trade negotiations with any partner.

"It does open a question mark about global Britain, if this is how global Britain will negotiate with other partners. Our experience has been not an easy one to put it mildly," Mairead McGuinness, who is negotiating post-Brexit financial services terms with Britain, told Irish broadcaster RTE on Thursday.

"We have to be very clear that when something happens that is not appropriate and indeed in our view breaches both trust and an international agreement, then we have to call it out. It wasn't a good day yesterday but this morning we have to work for practical solutions, with the UK, not separately."

You cannot trust them look at what happened over their spat with Astra Zenica.. They tried to close the Irish Border and it was nothing to do with the UK government
don't trust a word of it. the eu are playing games dangling financial carrots. the UK should forge mutual agreements with Switzerland and US
the EU should stop to play childish games so such moves from the UK wouldn't be necessary.
The EU's memory seems incredibly short regarding breaches of trust and international agreement - Just a few weeks ago they unilaterally triggered 'Article 16' when it suited them in an attempt to put the British government under pressure over the EU's own blunder of an agreement with Astra-Zeneca regarding supply of C-19 vaccine! Unbelievable behaviour!
