The Council of the European Union has adopted a decision to conclude the EU-U.K. Withdrawal Agreement. The European Parliament consented to the Agreement on January 29, 2020.

The Withdrawal Agreement will enter into force when the U.K. leaves the EU on January 31, 2020 (midnight CET / 11 p.m. GMT). Although the U.K. will have left the EU, it will still apply EU laws until December 31, 2020, which is the agreed transitional or implementation period under the Agreement.
