Transition period due to withdrawal from the UK “Not extended” Notify EU side June 13 7:09
Britain, which left the EU = European Union in January, officially told the EU that it would not extend the transition period until the end of the year. Negotiations will be concentrated in the future with the aim of concluding a free trade agreement in the remaining six months.
The United Kingdom and the EU are continuing negotiations to determine future relationships during the transition period set by the end of the year to avoid sharp changes in the movement of people and goods associated with departure.
In the trade negotiations, there were wide disagreements between the two parties regarding the handling of fishing rights in the British waters, and it has been focused on whether the transition period will be extended for further negotiations.
Under such circumstances, in the consultation held on the 12th, British minister Gove officially notified the EU side that the transition period will not be extended.
If negotiations such as free trade agreements are not completed by the end of the year, it is expected that turmoil will occur between the two parties from the beginning of the year.
For this reason, the two sides will focus on trade negotiations next month, and on the 15th of next week, British Prime Minister Johnson and EU Chairman Von de Allien will meet directly. We are aiming to overcome the situation.
