The Council of the European Union said in a statement that the European Union has completed ratification procedures for the Trade and Cooperation Agreement with the United Kingdom, which will eventually enter into force on May 1.

The agreement, under which the United Kingdom and the European Union will continue to trade duty-free and quota-free, initially starts until April 30. The period of validity was previously extended so that both parties could legalize the document.
