His comments to reporters on a flight to Rome for the G20 summit added to the pressure.
The Northern Irish Protocol was adopted as part of Britain’s long-running divorce from the European Union.
To protect the European market and prevent the re-establishment of a physical border on the island of Ireland, which weakens the peace, it effectively holds Northern Ireland into the Customs Union and the market-unique Europeans.
It aims to allow free trade of the territory with Britain’s mainland, while preventing British goods from entering the EU’s single market across the land border with Ireland.
But London says it will no longer serve the interests of Northern Ireland.
“The answers to the problems in moving goods (…) in our country between Great Britain and Northern Ireland should be very simple. I think we need to solve this problem,” Mr Johnson said.
“I do not believe the solutions we see (from the EU) can solve it. And the UK and the UK need to take the necessary steps to safeguard the regional integrity of the domestic market,” he added.
London wants to put an end to the European Court’s oversight role in the implementation of the Code.
He wants to establish an international arbitral tribunal to enforce the laws of the single market in Northern Ireland.
The Brussels court wants to be the final arbiter of its single market, but has recently proposed an attempt to find a compromise.
Brussels is proposing to significantly reduce phytosanitary checks and tariffs for a wide range of single-consumption goods in Northern Ireland and will not enter the European single market.
In the absence of an agreement in the coming weeks, the British government has indicated that it is prepared to trigger Section 16, which allows for unilateral suspension of certain aspects of the protocol in the event of major disruptions.
