Trade agreements are one of the most widely used policy tools for economic integration. Over the past decades, they have evolved both in volume and in scope. Whereas the predominant focus of early trade agreements was lowering tariffs, modern trade agreements contain a range of deeper provisions which go beyond the narrow remit of traditional trade policy instruments.
Such provisions apply to trade in services as well as trade in goods, and are widespread across agreements. They encompass measures ranging from recognition of professional qualifications for service providers, investment liberalisation, and intellectual property protection commitments, to policy areas such as anti-corruption, visa, and asylum. Trade agreements which include these provision types are referred to as deep trade agreements (DTAs).

The main difference between the two is how closely aligned the United Kingdom remains to Europe, especially with trade and commerce.
On December 24, an agreement was finally achieved, and only 7 days before the deadline, thus avoiding an abrupt and chaotic rupture between the European Union and the United Kingdom. Although there are still plenty of expectations and doubts about the deal, both Brussels and London have said it is time to leave Brexi behind and look to the future.
