BRUSSELS: Starting on January 1, ties between the European Union and Britain will be determined by their post-Brexit trade deal that was finalised last week after ten months of fierce negotiations.
The 1,246-page document sets out the fine print on how disputes over trade will be addressed and on the politically sensitive issue of fishing rights.
The pact, agreed on December 24, will come into force provisionally in the EU pending a vote by the European Parliament expected next month.
The deal avoids tariffs or quotas on almost all goods produced in the UK and EU moving between the two sides.
