The UK and Northern Ireland are scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, 2019. Under a transition agreement all trade and economic relations between the UK and the EU will remain the same until the end of 2022. In 2018 members of parliament and Prime Minister Theresa May proposed a “backstop” which would allow the UK and Northern Ireland to remain inside the EU’s single market for goods and farm products. Proponents argue that keeping the UK in the EU’s customers area will boost the economy by streamlining trade and tourism. Opponents, including anti-EU lawmakers, argue that the backstop would lock the UK inside the EU’s customs area permanently and prevent it from signing trade deals on its own.

Though Northern Ireland and Scotland voted to remain, the fact is the UK decided to leave. Therefore they are not entitled to any special treatment. They can't just decide they dislike the humanitarian requirements of EU but like the economic freedom.

Northern Ireland should be given different treatment because of the historical significance of customs in the island of Ireland. Britain on the other hand should not remain part of the customs area
