The United Kingdom left the European Union on 1 February 2020 after both sides concluded a Withdrawal Agreement to facilitate an orderly departure.
The Withdrawal Agreement also provides for a transition period. The transition period is intended to give time for national administrations, businesses and citizens to get ready for the significant and enduring changes that will definitively arise on 1 January 2021 as a result of the UK’s decision to leave the EU.
It is important that we all understand these changes and the necessary steps we now need to take.
