The scope of such formalities will depend on a possible free trade agreement.įurther to that, a distinction must be made between the import, export, re-export and transit procedure. With regard to the trade of goods with the UK, Brexit means that customs formalities will have to be observed for trade in goods with Great Britain after the transitional period is over. The ultimate scenario may lead to changes in the cross-border movement of goods, which, in turn, would place various new obligations - in legal, procedural and organisational terms - on the customs service and on businesses. Irrespective of the outcome of free trade agreement negotiations, customs formalities for goods delivered will have to be observed, which have not applied to trade with the UK during the transition period. The withdrawal agreement provides for a transitional period that extends to 31 December 2020, during which no changes will be made that could affect customs procedures. The UK left the EU with a withdrawal agreement on 31 January 2020. Boris Johnson was thus able to push through his deal in the UK Parliament on 20 December 2019. The Conservative and Unionist Party, the party of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, won a comfortable majority in the UK general election on 12 December 2019. Boris Johnson therefore had to apply to the EU for an extension of the deadline to 31 January 2020, which the EU granted. In October 2019, the vote on the new withdrawal agreement negotiated with the EU, which differs from the previous draft agreement in terms of how the border issue between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (UK) is dealt with, was postponed by the British Parliament. The UK Parliament reacted by forcing through a law to block a "No-Deal Brexit".
If the UK Parliament managed to approve a withdrawal agreement at an earlier time, the UK would be able to leave the EU possibly at an earlier date.Īccordingly, the United Kingdom’s disorganised withdrawal from the EU did not take place with the passing of 12 April 2019.īoris Johnson, as the new British Prime Minister, stressed that the UK’s withdrawal should happen by 31 October 2019, even without an agreement in place. The UK will remain in the European Union until 31 October 2019 at the latest. On 10 April 2019, the EU Heads of State and Government and the British Prime Minister agreed on the following arrangement:
In this case, a decision on a further extension of the deadline would also be envisaged if the UK declared by 11 April that it was holding elections to the European Parliament (EP). Should the House of Commons not approve the withdrawal agreement, the deadline would only be extended until 12 April 2019. The UK was granted an extension until 22 May 2019, on the condition that the British House of Commons approved the negotiated withdrawal agreement during this period. This extension was granted on 26 March 2019 at the request of British Prime Minister Theresa May. The withdrawal request, in which Article 50 of the EU Treaty of Lisbon (EU Treaty of Lisbon - TEU) was invoked, was formally submitted to the President of the Council of the European Union on 29 March 2017.Īccordingly, the UK would leave the EU on the date of entry into force of a withdrawal agreement to be concluded, at the latest, two years after the notification of the withdrawal request, ie on 30 March 2019, unless the European Council, in agreement with the UK, unanimously decided to extend the deadline (which, in turn, required the consent of all Member States). This plan included, in particular, the intention to leave the European Single Market and the European Customs Union, to enter into a strategic partnership with the EU and for the UK to conclude comprehensive free trade agreements on its own.
