The four amendments were laid by Brexiteer MPs furious at the Chequers agreement reached by May last Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have accepted these amendments because we believe them to be consistent with the approach that was set out and agreed at Chequers last week,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p>The amendments ensure the government cannot negotiate anything which would mean Northern Ireland becoming a separate customs area to the rest of the U.K. They would also stop the whole of the U.K. joining the EUs customs union without an act of parliament.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest sticking point, however, was an amendment which appeared to undermine the central customs proposal of Mays Chequers deal, which would see the U.K. collecting tariffs on behalf of the EU.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new amendment, now accepted by the government, this could only go ahead if the EU agreed to collect U.K. tariffs in return\u2014 something many experts said on Monday would be unacceptable in Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>While the governments climb down Monday appears to head off the prospect of a rebellion in the House of Commons by Brexiteers, it raises the prospect of retaliation by Conservative MPs opposed to a hard Brexit and disappointed with what they see as a government climbdown, who may now push for an amendment binding the government to a full customs union with the EU.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Read this next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/donald-trump-us-meeting-russia-vladimir-putin-helsinki-predicts-extraordinary-relationship\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump meets Putin, predicts extraordinary relationship<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON \u2014 Theresa May has moved to head off a Tory rebellion on a key piece of Brexit legislation by ..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":86479,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[202],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
