(Reuters) - European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic said the United Kingdom must not "embark on a path of confrontation" amid tension over post-Brexit fishing rights and goods passing through Northern Ireland, The Telegraph reported on Sunday.

Sefcovic urged British counterpart David Frost to back down and reconsider the bloc's proposals to reduce checks on British goods entering Northern Ireland, the newspaper reported.
