歐盟提出用技術手段解決愛爾蘭邊境問題的新方案

The European Union is secretly preparing to accept a frictionless Irish border after Brexit in a move that raises the prospect of Theresa May striking a deal by the end of the year.

在英國退出歐盟之後,歐盟不但正在力爭在今年年底之前與英國首相特蕾莎•梅達成協議,而且歐盟正在秘密準備接受一個沒有摩擦的愛爾蘭邊境,

In a concession to British concerns, EU negotiators want to use technological solutions to minimise customs checks between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.

為了遷就英國方面關心的問題,歐盟的談判代表希望能使用技術解決方案,將屬於英國的北愛爾蘭與愛爾蘭共和國之間的海關檢查縮減到最少。

Under the EU plan, goods could be tracked using barcodes on shipping containers under “trusted-trader” schemes administered by registered companies. This would remove the need for new border infrastructure.

按照歐盟的計劃,在“可信任的貿易商計劃”框架之下,由註冊過的公司來負責實施,在船運集裝箱上使用條形碼,這樣商品就可以被追溯。這將不需要建造新的邊境基礎設施。

A sticking point in the talks to date has been how to avoid the return of a “hard” border in Northern Ireland with new checks or controls amid fears that it could lead to renewed conflict.

到現在為止,歐盟與英國在談判中遇到的一個癥結是如何既不在北愛爾蘭建造“硬邊境”(指的是在邊境建造新的基礎設施),又可以進行邊境地區的檢查和控制。因為歐盟擔心建造“硬邊境”可能會再次導致雙方的衝突。
