Brexit—The End of the Transition Period Is Approaching

The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020; however, a transition period runs through the end of the year. During this period, the UK has continued to apply all EU rules but has not participated in EU discussions and decision-making.

What happens after December 2020 is under negotiation and remains uncertain even at this late stage. Possibilities still include a hard exit or a deal with continued cooperation and/or an extended transition period.
