After March 29, 2019, the UK will no longer be a Member State of the European Union. The UK and the EU have now agreed the terms of an implementation period, during which EU rules and regulations will continue to apply as now. This will give businesses and citizens certainty, and allow them to continue to trade on the same terms as now up until the end of 2020.

The agreement will be underpinned by a duty of good faith and governed by a Joint Committee to ensure it is faithfully and fully implemented by both sides.

As we move towards our future partnership with the EU, we will need to discuss how we manage the relationship once we are two separate legal systems.
