Irish PM sings tongue-in-cheek praises of EEA's lack of 'red lines'

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar issued a tongue-in-cheek reminder on Friday that European Union and non-EU countries - which neighbouring Britain is due to become - can share land borders without needing border patrol infrastructure and customs checks.

Varadkar tweeted from Brussels on the 25th anniversary of the European Economic Area that he had enjoyed meeting his counterparts from EEA members Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, who participate in the EU's single market without being members.
