This updated article was previously titled "A post-Brexit guide: Where are we now - and how did we get here?

The impacts of the UK's departure from the European Union (EU) are far-reaching, affecting businesses and the economy as well as people and many aspects of their lives on both sides of the English Channel.

This guide looks at the impact of Brexit to date, almost three years after the UK left the EU and two years after the new relationship came into force. It reviews the long negotiation process, the difficult historical relationship between the UK and Europe, and adds a note on how the EU works.

PART ONE: BREXIT'S IMPACT

  • The UK's departure from the EU, now a 27-nation economic and political partnership, put an end to nearly half a century of the UK's membership of the EU and the institutions that preceded it.
  • "Brexit" is short for "Britain" and "exit," and marks the biggest constitutional upheaval the UK has experienced since joining the then six-nation European Economic Community in 1973. It also marks the first time the European bloc has lost a member state.

The UK and Brexit: Unfinished business

Boris Johnson, the last British Prime Minister, ran a successful campaign on a promise to "get Brexit done". However, although the UK left the EU on mutually agreed terms following a trade and future linkage deal with the EU, the UK itself and Brussels are still fighting over post-Brexit relations.

A breakthrough in the long-running dispute over the Northern Ireland trade deal (which has also been beset by a difficult divorce process) has raised hopes that UK-EU relations will become warmer after two years of tension after Brexit, and that it will also put an end to political paralysis in the UK. The government of British Chancellor Rishi Sunak managed to reach a new agreement with the EU in February 2023. Unionists, who were strongly opposed to the original treaty, agreed to review its terms.

There are more evidence that Brexit will have a negative effect on the British economy, and the UK is needed to scrutinize new trade conditions with the continent. As a result of the UK's choice, new border management and immigration restrictions have been introduced, and trade and labor supply are confused. In particular, companies have questioned the UK government's aim to take advantage of the newly acquired autonomous rights by taking a different path from the EU rules.

Opinion polls suggest that more voters have regretted the British withdrawal. However, there is little desire to review the formal relationship with the UK EU, especially among major political parties.

With the arrival of Risi Snack in the Downing Street, the political turmoil that has destroyed his predecessor Boris Johnson and Liz Truss has recovered. However, the impact of Brexit continues to shake the ruling conservative party, and the influence of the ant i-EU har d-line, which could resist the compromise with the EU, is still strong.

In the latter half of 2022, the atmosphere of London and Brussels became warm, but important problems remained unresolved. It is noteworthy that Brussels is clear that the British Party, which has been consistently received in public opinion polls, and the next British election, which will be implemented by January 2025, is clear. I would have done it.

The friction between the United Kingdom and the EU was relieved to some extent by recognizing the need for European integration with Ukraine. However, for many Europeans, the weakening of the European continent to deal with global issues such as Russian wars, economic recession after pandemic, climate change, and threats by China and Iran. It was brought by.

On the other hand, in Scotland, the tension after Bregujit continued, and the majority of the EU remained, but the UK Supreme Court was banned by the UK Supreme Court to ask for independence without approval from London.

PART TWO: The REFERENDUM and the BREXIT DEALS

'Taking back control': The background to Brexit

Government immigration advisors say that BREXIT also promotes unstable labor markets, along with the activation of economic activity, high vacancy, increase in inflation, and Russia's Ukrainian War.

According to the annual report published by the Immigration Advisory Committee in December 2022, the end of free movement within the EU is especially "the most dependent on the EU workers, such as customer service, curator, government, manufacturing, and agriculture. "It brought a labor supply shock to the British economy."

The Mac tried many times to improve the wages, secure employees, and to make maximum measures to use the employee, but in many cases. It emphasizes that it was not effective.

Business leaders have called for the government to alleviate immigration rules, but the Immigration Committee is at risk of exploiting immigration workers, so "open new visa routes without a strong economic basis. You should resist the voice. "

The UK voted to leave the EU in a June 2016 referendum by a large margin of 52% to 48%. Campaign messages about wanting to "take back control" of borders, money and laws resonated with voters.

The vote followed decades of growing hostility to the European project, which imposed the primacy of EU law in certain areas and whose "freedom of movement" principles had led millions of EU citizens to move to the UK to work and settle.

After the UK finally left the EU on 31 January 2020, London and Brussels raced against time throughout the year to reach an agreement on the future EU-UK relationship to come into force from January 2021. Failure would have meant the two sides would have reverted to basic international trade rules, increasing costs and disruption, and leaving other issues in limbo (see "No Deal" below).

The TCA was approved by EU leaders and the UK Parliament and provisionally came into force in the New Year. Ratification by the European Parliament will take place at the end of April 2021.

The post-Brexit EU-UK trade and future relationship deal will maintain tariff-free and quota-free access to each other's goods markets. The deal removes the threat of a disastrous "no deal" scenario that could have driven thousands of businesses to the wall.

But the deal came with many promises, and Britain's departure from the EU single market and customs union has brought extra red tape and costs to importers and exporters on both sides of the Channel.

The UK is beyond the jurisdiction of EU law and the European Court of Justice (ECJ), but can challenge each other in their courts, and can take punitive measures if subsidies distort trade.

The deal also heralded further uncertainty for the UK's vital services industry, as it contained only vague commitments. Financial services were not covered at all, and will be dealt with in a separate process.

After the migration period in January 2021, North Ireland hoped to leave the EU Credit Alliance with other areas in the UK and pursue independent trade policy. However, it is still under the EU tariff rules and the EU supervision.

Northern Ireland is working with a part of the EU single market to apply the EU method for the added value tax (VAT) rules.

How did Johnson reach a revised deal with the EU?

Northern Ireland was guaranteed an "unlimited access" to the British market. However, the rules, especially for products transported from the United Kingdom to Northern Ireland, have effectively gaps in the Irish Sea.

Customs and regulatory authorities will be checked at the port, not on Ireland. The British government has receded from the claim that Boris Johnson has long been asserted, and has acknowledged that some checks will be made on the product.

In December 2020, the EU and the United Kingdom reached an agreement on how to implement the agreement on the North Ireland, which was included in the divorce agreement. As part of the agreement, the British government agreed to abandon a controversial plan to bypass some of the initial agreements that violate international law.

With the implementation of the Protocol in January 2021, trade between the United Kingdom and the North Ireland was cut off, and further disputes were brought. The Johnson administration has moved so as not to carry out some of the agreements, and then submitted further bills to avoid the treaty.

The UK and the EU remained conflicted in this issue in February 2023, until the Ursla von Dea Lien European Commissioner reached a new agreement in February 2023 (see the previous paragraph).

With the elimination of the backstop, this agreement has no longer realized.

As part of Bregjit's divorce consultation, the EU and the UK have also announced political declarations on future EU and British relations. This document provides a framework to form the foundation of future trade agreements.

Both sides signed various guarantees about future trade competition and other issues. It also included a commitment to "fair competition conditions" that covers problems such as national assistance, social rights, workers' rights, environment, and climate change.

The declaration is about the future economic relations between the EU and the UK, and the UK has selected a free trade agreement (FTA). However, in return for zero tariffs and allocation, the UK made a "powerful promise" to ensure "open and fair competition".

However, this document was not legally binding, and unlike the divorce agreement, the British withdrawal was effective in the International Treaty. The critics were skeptical, especially in consideration of the Johnson administration, deviating from the EU rules and trying to create an independent trade route.
