You mean the exact same problems UK is suffering when exporting to the EU
it’s called Brexit, its the damage you voted and wanted….are you now saying you’ve made a mistake.
In the event of article16 being triggered, the EU is legally obliged to enter negotiations with the UK to resolve the problems caused by this Protocol.
What they are not legally allowed to do is issue threats of war and try to impose punitive sanctions on the UK.
Regardless if who is responsible for this protocol, it is clear that it is causing the problems it was designed to prevent.

Genuine news sources disagree with you.
Who do you think is correct and accurate in their reporting?
"There is consensus among EU member states that such an arbitrary and unjustified move by the UK will be met with a clear European response," they said.

8% of EU exports go to the UK is one possible estimate

You lose
wrong
The TCA allows sanctions to be imposed if one party is breaking the rules.
the UK are not following the rules.

Lol, doing **** all would be a 'clear european response' to be fair.
I am referring to the N. I. Protocol.
Not the TCA.

It's not a given that EU would follow that process, there is another way.
Ultimately, the EU could impose tariffs on UK goods - but that would only be possible after a lengthy arbitration process.
The arbitrators would first have to find that the UK is in breach of the protocol.
Then the UK would have to refuse to remedy that breach, at which point the EU could retaliate under the terms of the wider Brexit deal, the TCA.
It could require another arbitration process to rule whether the use of tariffs is proportionate retaliation.
There is a potentially faster legal track - known as infringement proceedings - which could lead to the UK being fined.

Who would fix the level of penalty fines? ECJ.
I'm pretty sure the EU have no intention of threats of war.
You're getting as bad as transam looking for a violent end, and as daft as fillyboy with wild allegations.It is very relevant who is responsible for this protocol. UK had several options, stay in EU SM and CU, Backstop, a la TM, or the NI Protocol. This UK government chose the NI Protocol over the other choices. So who's fault is it?
No, it is performing as designed and agreed, except that we haven't put in place many of controls we agreed to yet. That we don't like what we agreed to is the issue.
Yes and if the UK are not complying with the NIP, the TCA allows for sanctions to be imposed.
Putin shouts Boo! at the EU and they will schitt themselves.
They will come running to the English speaking nations to bail them out.
