The political declaration on how the EU and the UK will trade, cooperate in the field of security and other areas, in principle, agreed, according to the European Council.

Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, wrote on Twitter: “I have just sent a draft Political Declaration on the future relations between the EU and the UK to the 27 EU members. The chairman of the European Commission informed me that the document was agreed at the level of negotiators, agreed in principle at the political level and now has to be approved by the decision of the leaders of the countries ".

If everything goes according to plan, the EU and the UK will use this declaration as a basis for a trade agreement, BBC News reports.. This agreement must be approved during the 21-month transition period starting March 29.. During this period, Britain will remain a member of the European market and customs union..



If a previously agreed agreement on the withdrawal of Britain from the EU and a political declaration on future relations will be approved at the EU summit on Sunday November 25, then Prime Minister Theresa May will have to hold these documents through the British Parliament.

While there is no majority in support of this agreement. All opposition parties, as well as dozens of conservative members of parliament, oppose him..

Some of them, supporters of a more rigid version of Brexit, even tried to initiate the procedure for issuing a vote of no confidence to the prime minister..
