The Backstop must go, says Boris Johnson-again and again – without having yet a better idea. But now a proposal is in work to make border controls on the island of Ireland is unnecessary.

The October has begun. And until it is over, wants to be British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will have his country from the European Union – with or without an exit agreement. And a regulated or unregulated to exit the EU on the question of how a hard limit with whipped trees, and border checks can be avoided between the British Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the member remains in the EU.
The compromise solution for this Problem, the so-called Backstop, is opposed by Johnson vehemently. The scheme had been negotiated by the then Prime Minister Theresa May in Brussels and the Parliament rejected several times. Since then, a reoccurring complaint of the EU is the Commission in Brussels: From London, no concrete, implementable would be alternative proposals.
Don’t want a Backstop: the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson
“Non-starter”
As several news reporting agencies, intends to present the British government of the EU this week detailed proposals. It is also a solution for the border problem on the island of Ireland.
According to the Irish broadcasting company RTE, the proposals for so-called “customs clearance centres before see”, on both sides of the border (but not on the border!) set up to be. The customs controls were to be held five to ten miles (8-16 km) from the border, reported Tony Connelly, Europe editor of the station, on Twitter:
Dutiable Goods should be registered accordingly, in the control centres and by GPS followed, until they arrived on the other side. Connelly refers to “technical documents”, which he read extracts.
If such a proposal is actually up to Brussels, are not likely to be the answer it clearly, because the border controls, prevents, finally, but only would be moved. The Irish foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan described the idea of the prompt as a “non-starter” (a”non-starter”). Currently, no controls between the two Parts of Ireland are to be held. That should change after the Brexit could flare-up of the Northern Ireland conflict.
