The 27 countries of the European Union (EU) on Monday unanimously approved the provisional application of a post-Brexit deal with Britain, an EU presidency spokesperson said.
The unanimous approval, therefore, allows agreed changes to come into force from January 1.
“EU Ambassadors have unanimously approved the provisional application of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement as of January 1, 2021,” a spokesperson for the German presidency of the Council of the EU, Sebastian Fischer, said on Twitter.
A trade deal between the European Union and Britain was only thrashed out on December 24, leaving too short a time for the agreement to be fully ratified.
LONDON (AP) European Union nations have unanimously approve the post-Brexit trade deal with the United Kingdom, a prerequisite for the agreement to come into operation on New Year’s Day.
Germany, which holds the EU presidency, said the decision came during a meeting of EU ambassadors to assess the Christmas Eve agreement.
“Green light,” said Germany’s spokesman Sebastian Fischer. “Ambassadors have unanimously approved the provisional application of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement as of January 1, 2021.”
The approval had been expected ever since the deal was announced and all EU leaders warmly welcomed it. It still needs approval from the EU’s legislature, which is expected to come in February. The U.K’s House of Commons is expected to approve it on Wednesday.
