“The deal is done,” said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

A British government spokesman said it was the largest bilateral trade agreement ever signed between the two parties. In 2019, the commercial volume in the region was 646 billion euros

Britain decided to leave the EU in a referendum in 2016 Then, on January 31 this year, that process was completed.However, an agreement was being negotiated on how to conduct trade between the EU and Britain after Brexit. If the agreement was not signed before December 31, there would be several trade and commerce problems between the two blocks.
In recent days, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, have spoken several times to reach an agreement on the deal. It was heard that the agreement was reached since Wednesday night. Even then the discussion continued all night. The news of the agreement was expected on Thursday morning.

According to those involved in the talks, there was disagreement between the two parties over the post-Brexit fishing quota system. That’s why it took so long to reach an agreement

Feedback

The president of the European Commission, von der Leyen, called it a “fair and balanced” agreement.

“We have regained control of our law and our destiny,” said Boris Johnson, calling it “good business” for all of Europe.
