MEPs, by law, have the right to sign off the deal and, on Tuesday night, Parliament finally got a chance to vote on the agreement thrashed out after protracted EU-UK trade talks that followed the 2016 Referendum.
The results, announced on Wednesday morning, showed that an overwhelming majority, 660, of MEPs voted in favour of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), with just five deputies voting against. There were 32 abstentions.
