Details of Prime Minister Boris Johnson`s new Brexit deal with the European Union are included in 64 pages of revisions to the old withdrawal agreement and a roadmap for future relations. The only way to avoid the control of goods flowing from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland was for the North to apply the rules and customs procedures of the European Union, the same ones that the Republic of Ireland pursues. Mr Johnson`s agreement also aligned Northern Ireland with EU internal market rules for industrial and agricultural products. Partner countries: Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement, Association Agreements with Eastern Partnership Countries: Community Acquis (Flexible) The Government has committed to holding a vote on a resolution in both houses of Parliament before EPEP votes, where each Parliament is invited to approve the withdrawal agreement. So far, the British Parliament had had two ”wise votes” but had not approved the November 2018 withdrawal agreement, despite assurances from the EU in January 2019 that the backstop should not be permanent and other interpretations and clarifications in March 2019. The Strasbourg clarification package and the Attorney General`s opinion will be discussed in the Commons Briefing Paper 8525 The Strasbourg package, 13 March 2019. Ambassadors and Brexit experts from EU-27 capitals have been reviewing the text of the deal since Thursday morning. They will discuss the agreement with EU heads of state and government, who will discuss the agreement and possibly approve it at Thursday afternoon`s European Council meeting in Brussels. All this is considerably accelerated from the usual situation where heads of state and government prefer to have more time to reflect. The political pressure to continue now that an agreement is on the table will be enormous. The EU and the UK have both moved to reach the compromise, but in reality London has had to make the most radical concessions. The final agreement differs in many respects from the ”final offer” presented by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to the Conservative convention.

These concessions could still prove costly to win the support of the Democratic Unionist Party and the hard Brexiteers within his own party. BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union has reached an agreement with Britain on a new Brexit deal. Here are the details. But because of history, such an agreement could take years and would be complicated if Britain began to deviate from European standards for the production of various sensitive products.
