Anyone wonder whether these "documents" are the same ones waved about in April 2018? Notice the similarities.
//In a series of leaked documents from the Northern Ireland executive the true complications of resolving the Irish border – which European Union leaders have threatened to derail Brexit over.
Documents marked “official sensitive” were made leaked by the GUE/NGL European Parliament group, which includes Sinn Fein.
At least one of the letters is addressed to Olly Robbins, Theresa May’s so-called EU sherpa and her most senior advisor on Brexit.
In the note to Mr Robbins, David Sterling, the head of the civil service in Northern Ireland, voices his concern over the two solutions put forward by Westminster in negotiations as recently as last week in Brussels.
Brexit news: Leaked documents show scale of Irish border challenge
There is likely to be some negative impact on the economy

He stresses the proposals create a dangerous “back-door” for products, that fall below the EU’s tough standards, moving on from the UK, which would likely lead to disapproval of plans by Brussels.
Under Westminster’ plans, the UK would take responsibility for goods arriving in Northern Ireland which fall below the EU’s standards and ensure they would not move across the bloc.
The customs proposals were first set out in a paper published on Northern Ireland and customs in August last year and reportedly rubbished by Brussels, despite the UK still trying to push them in ongoing negotiations.
Mr Sterling’s letter was addressed to Mr Robbins days after the papers were released in August of last year.
He writes: “While the position papers have helpfully started a dialogue on movement of goods, many of the issues raised in June still require exploration.”
Evaluating the risk of a land border, executives say: “There i no quick or simple solution to the land border.
“There is likely to be some negative impact on the economy whether border controls are sited at the land or sea border, at least in the short-to-medium term.
“The policy question is therefore how these impacts can be minimised and what transitional support is required.”//
