Practice notes
The UK’s formal withdrawal from the EU took effect at 11 pm on 31 January 2020 (Exit day). At this point, the withdrawal period under Article 50 TEU came to an end and the ratified Withdrawal agreement setting out the legal terms of the UK’s withdrawal entered into force. The ratified Withdrawal Agreement was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on exit day along with the Political Declaration on the framework for the future relationship between the UK and EU:
- •
Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, OJ L 29 31.01.20, p 7-187
- •
Political declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom, OJ C 34 31.01.20, p 1-16
