Today MEPs are debating and will, later in the day, vote on a resolution assessing the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) and also the role of the Parliament in the Brexit process.
The move marks the final legal hurdle to be overcome in the long-running Brexit saga, stretching back over four years.
Following the 2016 EU Referendum and protracted talks, the EU and the UK concluded their negotiations and agreed on a partnership deal at the last minute in December 2020. This prevented a “disorderly Brexit” and settled future relations.
