As of January 1, trade and financial affairs between the EU and UK enter a new phase following Britain’s departure from the Union.
Although terms and conditions for operational ties between the two entities are laid out in the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement signed on December 30, challenges are expected in the coming year particularly in the areas of trade, road transport, customs procedures and border controls, persons and goods, as well as with regard to taxation and health.
In an effort to limit the inconvenience, the Greek government has taken several actions to facilitate among others travel between the two countries as well as study abroad programs.
