The UK formally left the EU on 31 January 2020, but there is still a lot to talk about and months of negotiation to come. While the UK has agreed the terms of its EU departure, both sides still need to decide what their future relationship will look like. This will need to be worked out during the transition period (which some prefer to call the implementation period), which began immediately after Brexit day and is due to end on 31 December 2020. During this 11-month period, the UK will continue to follow all of the EU’s rules and its trading relationship will remain the same. I’d be happy with No Deal, end of.
