G4: Brexit - What's Next
March 9, 2020 · 1:00-3:00 pm
Description: The United Kingdom will remain in the European Union until the end of 2020, but with restricted powers. During that period, the U.K. will no longer participate in European decision-making procedures. European laws will continue to apply in the U.K., but London will not have any say in decision-making that involves the future of the European Union. The transition period is aimed at giving businesses and citizens, both in Britain and the EU, more time to prepare for the U.K.'s complete departure from the bloc. It will also allow negotiators time to conclude their talks on how the relationship between the EU and the U.K. will be starting from 2021 - which at the moment is far from certain. For the U.K. this transition period is also about beginning life outside of the European Union, including preparing and signing new trade deals. The possibility that no agreement will be reached on Brexit still exists so the business community, public institutions and members of the public are preparing for every eventuality. Only after Brexit can the EU and the UK start discussing the details of their new relationship.
