“Tonight on Christmas Eve I have a little present for anyone who might be looking for something to read in this post-Christmas mealtime sleepy moment and here it is: heartening news, because it's about 'an agreement, an agreement aimed at bringing certainty to businesses and travelers as well as to all investors in our country from January 1, "said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in a video broadcast on his Twitter account Thursday night.
This agreement of nearly 2,000 pages which will govern trade relations between the Union and its former member the United Kingdom was concluded a few hours earlier with the European Union, a few days before the deadline for negotiations.
"
Remember the ready-to-oven pairing?
On January 31, this agreement was just the start, now it's the main course.
With lots of fish, by the way.
The Prime Minister continued, joking about fishing, which remained one of the points of contention between the European Union and the United Kingdom.
After ten months of negotiations, this agreement makes it possible to avoid the “no deal” feared by the British.
