December 24, Great Britain and the European Union reached an agreement on Brexit terms after months of negotiations … One of the main documents in the framework of the general agreement was the trade agreement, which provides for the mutual absence of duties and quotas.
The UK officially left the European Union on 1 February. The parties agreed on a transitional period until the end of the year, during which most of the EU laws continued to operate in the United Kingdom. If London and Brussels did not have time to conclude a new trade agreement by the end of December, the UK would cease to be part of the common European market, which would lead to the introduction of customs borders between the country and the EU.
