“Brexit: What does it mean for the European Union and our Partners?”Left to right: Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission; and Mr. Michel Barnier, Head of the EU Task Force for Relations with the United KingdomOn 31 January 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union. This is largely thanks to the Withdrawal Agreement that we negotiated with the UK, which enabled us to secure ‘an orderly Brexit’. One that – at least for now – minimises disruption for our citizens, businesses, public administrations – as well as for our international partners. Brexit does not change this, and we will continue to take this project forward as 27. The European Union will continue to be a partner you can trust.
