        The European Union hopes to
        resolve the trading difficulties of Northern Ireland by the end
        of the year, the EU's post-Brexit coordinator said on Tuesday,
        while warning London against unilaterally suspending the terms
        of the divorce deal.
        
        European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic, who
        oversees EU relations with Britain, once again rejected a
        British demand to renegotiate the protocol governing Northern
        Ireland's trading position.
        
        However, he said wanted to find solutions within the
        protocol to free up the movement of goods to the British
        province.
