Not much has changed since Brexit

brussels - There will be a transition period from 21 months to the end of December 2020, when the United Kingdom leaves the EU on 29 March next year. At that time, an agreement on the future relationship should be concluded between the Union and the UK, but this period may be extended if necessary.

Both parties will have to agree on that, according to EU negotiator Michel Barnier. The Frenchman explained the exit agreement last night, which the negotiators agreed this week. A fist-thick work, containing 185 articles on various subjects such as nuclear safety and the rights for EU citizens living in the UK and vice versa. The border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, where an external border of the EU comes to run, has long been the biggest problem. The parties have decided that the UK will remain in the customs union for the time being, which gives hard Brexiteers ammunition to claim that the UK will go through life as a 'vassal state' of the EU.
