On December 30, 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom signed the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom. The agreement has been in effect since January 1, 2021.
The agreement covers a wide range of topics and includes provisions on sustainability, competition, state aid, data traffic, etc.
But the most important element is the agreement on trade in goods.
The agreement provides for duty-free and quota-free trade in goods between the United Kingdom and the European Union, provided the relevant so-called “rules of origin” are met.
