A future partnership with the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom left the European Union on 31 January 2020, after 47 years of EU membership. In accordance with the Withdrawal Agreement, it is now officially a third country to the EU and hence no longer participates in EU decision-making. The EU and the UK have, however, jointly agreed on a transition period, which will last until 31 December 2020. Until then, it will be business as usual for citizens, consumers, businesses, investors, students and researchers in both the EU and the UK. EU law still applies to the United Kingdom until the end of the transition period. The EU and the UK will use these months to negotiate an ambitious and fair partnership for the future, which reflects the political and geographical proximity and economic inter-dependence between the EU and the United Kingdom.
