(UTV|COLOMBO) – The UK and EU have agreed on a “large part” of the agreement that will lead to the “orderly withdrawal” of the UK.
Negotiators Michel Barnier and David Davis said the deal on what the UK calls the implementation period was a “decisive step” in the Brexit process.
But issues still to be resolved include the Northern Ireland border.
And Scotland’s fishing industry has reacted angrily to the deal, which will see the UK “consulted” on quotas and access to its waters until 2021.
Brexit Secretary Mr Davis said Monday’s transition agreement, which is conditional on both sides agreeing a final withdrawal treaty, would smooth the path to a future permanent relationship.
