New Years Leave: UK and EU agree a "Transition Phase"
Britain leaves the EU on 29th March 2019 and transition out of Single Market and Customs Union will end on the 31st December 2020

The key aspects of the agreement announced in Brussels are:
- The transitional period will last from Brexit day on 29 March 2019 to 31 December 2020
- EU citizens arriving in the UK between these two dates will enjoy the same rights and guarantees as those who arrive before Brexit. The same will apply to UK expats on the continent
- The UK will be able to negotiate, sign and ratify its own trade deals during the transition period
- The UK will still be party to existing EU trade deals with other countries
- The UK's share of fishing catch will be guaranteed during transition but UK will effectively remain part of the Common Fisheries Policy, yet without a direct say in its rules, until the end of 2020
- Northern Ireland will effectively stay in parts of the single market and the customs union in the absence of other solutions to avoid a hard border with the Republic of Ireland
Not the best transition but it is all about the end state that matters.
Key dates are that we're leaving the EU in just over a year (29th March 2019) and we'll be out of the Single Market and Customs Union on the 31st December 2020. By then, all EU institutions/courts will cease to apply to Britain.
Not long to go now though, at the end of this month it is less than a year away!
Thoughts?
