DUP councillors proposed and seconded a council's adoption of a Northern Ireland Protocol scheme which the party is now seeking to overturn.
It has emerged an Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council committee approved the £55,000 initiative to improve market surveillance on non-food consumer products.
Councillors were told the UK government-funded scheme would be used to enhance product safety and help meet the provisions of the European Union Withdrawal Agreement and the protocol.
