Do you remember Brexit?
The UK left the European Union at 11.00 PM CET on 31 January 2020, ending 47 years of membership.
Both the UK and EU Parliaments have finally ratified the renegotiated withdrawal agreement reached in October 2019. Consequently, the UK remains in the EU Single Market and Customs Union, and is bound by its rules until 31 December 2020.
Earlier this month, we learned that there will be no extension of the Brexit transition period beyond 31 December 2020, meaning that the EU and the UK will have to strike a deal in just six months to avoid the UK leaving the Union without one.
