schema:articleBody	An organised crime "bonanza" may flourish along the Irish border if Britain and the EU fail to agree a Brexit deal, Northern Ireland's justice minister warned Wednesday. Naomi Long said any disruption to cross-border policing arrangements with EU member Ireland, combined with "increased differentials" in markets each side of the border, will make "a potential bonanza for organised crime." Speaking before UK lawmakers at the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee, she said the province's chief constable was "concerned of the growth of the black market" in case of a no-deal. London and Brussels are currently locked in last-ditch talks to reach an agreement on future relations before the expiration of the Brexit transition period in December. With a late October deadline already blown, a deal must be sealed in the coming week if it is to be legally ratified by the European Parliament by the end of the year. Long said the "spectre of a no-deal" meant police faced being locked out of EU-wide "real-time" IT systems, which alert wanted persons, share DNA and fingerprint data, and criminal records. Officers will also have no access to pan-EU agencies like Europol and will lose the facility to make speedy extraditions, she said. "It's clearly the worst possible outcome we could have," she added. Cross-border smuggling along the 500 kilometre (310 mile) boundary between the Republic of Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland is a long-standing issue. Border checks between the two territories were dissolved towards the end of "The Troubles" -- a 30 year sectarian conflict between unionists and republicans which ended 3,500 lives. The dissolution of checkpoints was made possible because both Ireland and the UK were members of the EU's single market and customs union, but fuel and tobacco smuggling remain profitable ventures. New special arrangements are designed to kick in to prevent the re-emergence of a hard border when the Brexit transition period ends. But Northern Irish police have warned that as a result, the border could become a criminal back door between the EU and UK territories starting in 2021. jts/jwp/pma
