Brexit

Timeline

23 June 2016 - The United Kingdom (UK) held a referendum on their membership of the European Union (EU). The UK voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48%.
29 March 2017 - The UK notified the European Council of its intention to leave the EU, thus formally triggering Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.
30 January 2020 - The EU ratified the Withdrawal agreement.
31 January 2020 at midnight (CET) - The United Kingdom left the European Union and became a third country. This marked the start of a transition period that lasted until 31 December 2020. 
24 December 2020. The EU and UK agreed a trade and cooperation agreement, reshaping their future relations. All 27 Member States approved the agreement on 29 December 2020.
31 December 2020 - The EU-UK trade and cooperation agreement was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. It is provisionally applicable since 1 January 2021.

Trade and Cooperation Agreement

The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU, the Single Market and the Customs Union, created barriers to trade and cross-border exchanges that did not exist prior to 1 January 2021.

Consequences for public administrations, businesses and citizens were unavoidable, broad and far-reaching, even with the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement in place from 1 May 2021.
​
Regarding questions in respect of the application of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, citizens, associations and businesses can contact Europe direct Information service.

Moreover, the Commission provides for a single entry point where EU companies, trade organisations or non-governmental organisations can submit complaints on barriers to trade in non-EU countries, and about non-EU countries not meeting the commitments, including in the area of sustainable development, they have made in trade agreements.
