The Withdrawal Agreement also contains provisions allowing the United Kingdom to let the United Kingdom link the Statute of the European Schools to the United Kingdom by the Convention and the accompanying rules for accredited European Schools until the end of the last academic year of the transition period, i.e. until the end of the 2020-2021 spring semester. [20] The new relationship will only become clear at the end of the negotiations, at the end of the transition period. The new agreements will enter into force after the transitional period, which ends on 31 December 2020. EU countries must first accept these new agreements. If the UK and the EU fail to reach an agreement, there will be a no-deal Brexit. This will happen at the end of the transition period. In addition to an agreement on goods, the UK wants one on services, which make up a large part of its economy. It`s not part of the talks, but separate agreements on things like banks are still possible.

The agreement applies to the territory of the United Kingdom and the EU. It does not apply to Gibraltar, which was also part of the EU but for which separate negotiations are underway between the UK, Spain and the EU. [25] The Agreement applies to the Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey (which have given their consent[26][27]) with respect to trade in goods and fisheries. [28] As regards Northern Ireland, the rules on trade in goods do not apply because they (together with the provisions on the application of EU law in this area and the intervention of the Court of Justice of the European Union)[5] are set out in a protocol to the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement. [28] The European Union and the United Kingdom reach a draft withdrawal agreement. The EU and the UK reach a provisional agreement on citizens` rights and the financial terms of Brexit. On 17 October 2019, the UK and the EU reached an agreement on the terms of the UK`s withdrawal from the EU (Brexit) and on a transition period until 31 December 2020. The Northern Ireland Protocol, known as the „Irish backstop”, was an annex to the November 2018 draft agreement that outlined provisions to prevent a hard border in Ireland after the United Kingdom`s withdrawal from the European Union. The Protocol contains a provision on a safety net to deal with circumstances in which other satisfactory arrangements have yet to enter into force at the end of the transition period. This project has been replaced by a new protocol which will be described below. The transitional period shall not be extended. The UK has said it does not want an extension.

The option of an extension has been included in the Withdrawal Agreement. The UK and the EU had until 1 July 2020 to agree on a possible extension. The inclusion of the deal in the House of Commons ranged from cold to hostile and the vote was delayed by more than a month. Prime Minister May won a no-confidence motion against her own party, but the EU refused to accept further changes. After the UK decided to leave the EU in a referendum in 2016 („Brexit”), it did so on 31 January 2020. [10] Until 31 December 2020, there was a transition period during which the UK was still considered part of the EU for most issues. After the first negotiations between the UK and the EU resulted in the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, which implemented the UK`s withdrawal[11], negotiations began on an agreement to regulate trade and other relations between the EU and the UK after the end of the transition period. The transition period shall end as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement. The other 27 EU member states are signalling their willingness to allow the UK to postpone its withdrawal (the UK is expected to leave the EU on 29 March 2019). If the UK Parliament approves the withdrawal agreement by 29 March, Brexit will be postponed until 22 May to allow time for the necessary legislation to be passed. If the British Parliament has not approved the agreement by then, Brexit will be postponed to 12 April. The most important elements of the draft agreement are:[21] In the field of energy, there should be regulatory and technical cooperation,[30] as well as a reaffirmation of the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement.

[29] However, the UK is no longer part of the EU energy market and emissions trading scheme. [29] The United Kingdom has concluded a separate agreement with Euratom on peaceful cooperation in the field of nuclear technology[32], which has not yet entered into force. The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (FTA) is a free trade agreement between the European Union (EU), the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) and the United Kingdom (UK) signed on 30 December 2020. It will be provisionally applied from 1 January 2021, the date on which the Brexit transition period ended[1][2] and was extended until 30 April 2021. [3] The UK elected the EU on 31 September. January 2020 at midnight CET (23:00 GMT). A transitional period now applies until 31 December 2020. During this period, all EU rules and laws will continue to apply in the UK. For businesses or for the public, almost nothing changes. This will give everyone more time to prepare for the new agreements that the EU and the UK intend to conclude after 31 December 2020. On 15 November 2018, one day after the british government cabinet presented and supported the agreement, several members of the government resigned, including Dominic Raab, Secretary of State for Leaving the European Union. [28] The UK government and the remaining 27 EU Member States approve the draft agreement.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson wins the British general election. It is therefore likely that the Brexit agreement will be adopted soon. If the UK Parliament approves the deal, the European Parliament will be able to vote on it in January. The agreement establishes a Partnership Council composed of representatives of the EU and the UK. By mutual agreement, it is empowered to administer the agreement, settle disputes through negotiation and amend certain parts of the agreement if necessary. [30] The Partnership Council will also play this role by supplementing the EU-UK agreements, unless otherwise agreed (Articles KOMPROV 2 and Inst 1.2)[24]. On 22nd October the British Parliament agreed to review the Brexit legislation. But he decided it needed longer than the British Prime Minister had proposed. This means that a withdrawal with an agreement on the scheduled Brexit date of 31 October is no longer possible. The Brexit deal will not come into force until the Brexit law is passed by the UK Parliament. The EU and Switzerland are linked by a patchwork of bilateral agreements, some of which date back decades and which, according to companies on both sides, are no longer adapted to modern challenges. An agreement on the mutual recognition of medical devices expired in May, which means it will be more difficult for manufacturers to trade such products between the EU and Switzerland.

WTO rules: If countries do not have free trade agreements, they must act in accordance with the rules established by a world body called the World Trade Organization (WTO), which means taxes on goods The new relationship between the EU and the UK begins, provided that an agreement has been concluded that has been approved by EU member states. the European Parliament and the Parliament of the United Kingdom. . . . . .
