What Comes After The Withdrawal Agreement
The UK government and the other 27 EU member states approve the draft agreement. The European Union and the United Kingdom have approved the withdrawal agreement. The British Parliament and the European Parliament have yet to approve the withdrawal agreement. After the adoption by the British House of Lords on 22 January of the European Union Withdrawal Agreement Act, the bill received royal approval from the Queen. The European Parliament approved the agreement on 29 January. The EU-27 (with the exception of the UK) notes that sufficient progress has been made in Phase 1. This means that phase 2 of the negotiations can begin. In Phase 2, the EU and the UK continue to negotiate the withdrawal agreement. But they are also beginning to discuss a transition period and explore their future relationship. On 23 March 2018, EU and UK negotiators reached an agreement on the draft withdrawal agreement allowing the European Council (Article 50) to adopt guidelines for the framework for future eu-UK relations. On 15 January 2019, the House of Commons voted with 230 votes against the Brexit withdrawal agreement[10] the largest vote against the British government in history. [31] The government may survived a vote of confidence the next day. [10] On March 12, 2019, the House of Commons voted 149 votes against the agreement, the fourth-biggest defeat of the government in the history of the House of Commons.
[32] A third vote on the Brexit withdrawal agreement, widely expected on 19 March 2019, was rejected by the House of Commons spokesman on 18 March 2019, on the basis of a parliamentary convention of 2 April 1604, which prevented British governments from forcing the House of Commons to vote several times on a subject already voted on by the House of Commons. [34] [35] [36] An abbreviated version of the withdrawal agreement, in which the annex political statement had been withdrawn, consisted of the test of “substantial amendments,” so that a third vote was held on 29 March 2019, but was rejected by 58 votes. [37] The rules for citizens and businesses wishing to relocate, work or study in another country after the end of the transition period will depend to a large extent on the outcome of the ongoing negotiations on future relations between the European Union and the United Kingdom. If an agreement is not reached, the rules and rules must be applied to third countries outside the EU. The agreement defines the goods, services and processes associated with them. Any provision of goods or services legally put on the market before leaving the EU may be made available to consumers in the UK or in the EU Member States (Article 40-41). On 22 October, the British Parliament agreed to review the Brexit Act. But she decided it took longer than the British Prime Minister had proposed.
This means that it is no longer possible to withdraw with an agreement on the planned date of Brexit, 31 October. The Brexit deal will not come into force until the Brexit law is passed by the British Parliament. The Irish backstop is withdrawn and replaced by a new protocol on Northern Ireland/Republic of Ireland. The whole of the United Kingdom comes from the EU Customs Union as a single customs territory, with Northern Ireland included in all future UK trade agreements. However, Northern Ireland adopts EU internal market rules for goods (including EU VAT) in order to avoid a hard border and remains an access point to the EU customs union. [23] The result is a de jure customs border on the island of Ireland, but a de facto customs border in the Irish Sea. EU tariffs (which depend on a free trade agreement between the UK and the EU), levied by the UK on behalf of the EU, would be levied on goods that leave Britain for Northern Ireland and are “threatened” and then transported and sold to the Republic of Ireland; If this is ultimately not the case, companies in Northern Ireland can apply for discounts on products for which the UK had lower tariffs than the EU. [24] [25] The transitional period ends in accordance with the withdrawal agreement.
