Withdrawal Agreement

The Withdrawal Agreement is a treaty that outlines the terms of a country's exit from a larger political union, most notably the UK's departure from the European Union (EU). Signed in January 2020, it addresses key issues such as citizens' rights, financial settlements, and how to manage the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The agreement ensures a structured and orderly exit, aiming to prevent disruption and maintain cooperation between the UK and EU in various areas after the withdrawal takes place.
