schema:articleBody	Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday accused the European Union of threatening Britain's territorial integrity, as he urged lawmakers to back a new bill that breaks international law. Johnson's government has openly admitted that the UK Internal Market bill, if passed, will breach the Withdrawal Agreement it signed with Brussels that allowed it to leave the bloc. The move has caused uproar, even among his own Conservative party, while furious EU officials have called on London to withdraw it by the end of this month, and threatened legal action. Under the Brexit deal, the EU will continue to have a continued say over trade in Northern Ireland, which will have Britain's only land border with the bloc after December 31. The move was made to ensure the border with EU-member Ireland stays open -- a key plank of the 1998 peace deal that ended 30 years of violence over British rule on the island. But Johnson said the application of EU trade rules risked higher tariffs being imposed on some goods heading to the province from the rest of mainland Britain. Brussels was using that as a threat to "exert leverage" in increasingly fraught discussions to strike a post-Brexit trade deal before the end of this year, he added. "This is unreasonable and clearly against the spirit" of the Northern Ireland Protocol in the Withdrawal Agreement, said Johnson. "They (the EU) are threatening to carve tariff borders across our own country, divide our own land, change the very economic geography of the UK, and egregiously ride roughshod over their own commitment under Article 4 of the Protocol, whereby... 'Northern Ireland is part of the customs territory of the United Kingdom'," he added. "We cannot have a situation where the very boundaries of our country could be dictated by a foreign power or international organisation. "No British prime minister, no government, no parliament could ever accept such an imposition." Johnson described the bill as a "legal safety net" giving powers to ministers to "guarantee the integrity of the United Kingdom". He said he had "absolutely no desire" to use the measures and they would not be invoked if a free trade agreement is struck. phz/ar/adp
