Midnight trade agreement with the United Kingdom in Brussels

This agreement that allows trade without customs fees took more than 10 months to be reached. It was even admitted that there could be no agreement, since – defended the European Union – it could not be closed at any price.

In conjunction with the trade and cooperation agreement, the agreement on the security of sharing classified information and the cooperation agreement for the safe and peaceful use of nuclear energy were also signed.

This global agreement will enter into force provisionally this Friday and will remain in effect until February 28, because the approval of the European Parliament is still lacking for it to become definitive.
