BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission is expected to outline by the end of September plans that could ease the movement of goods from Britain to Northern Ireland in an effort to ease tensions resulting from Brexit, EU diplomats said.

The EU rejected a UK demand to renegotiate the new trading position of the British province. But a deputy head of the bloc's executive Commission, Maros Sefcovic, last week promised "creative and solid new solutions" under the current deal.
