The European Commission has ruled out renegotiating the deal.
Britain and the EU will hold talks on the Northern Ireland Protocol in September, according to an Irish MEP.
It's after the UK yesterday called for significant changes to the agreement - saying it's causing major problems for trade.
We are ready to continue to seek creative solutions, within the Protocol on IE/NI, in the interest of all communities in Northern Ireland. However, we will not agree to its renegotiation.
