European Parliament backs Brexit trade deal
Two key committees of the European Parliament have already overwhelmingly backed the TCA. But a draft resolution will invite MEPs to declare the UK's exit from the EU an "historic mistake".
The TCA certainly hasn't solved everything. There are still big questions to resolve on issues like financial services, for example. says UK exports to the EU were still down by 17.2% in February compared to an average of February 2018 to 2020.The most prominent post-Brexit issue so far this year, though, isn't part of the TCA itself. Northern Ireland's trading relationship with the rest of the UK, and with the EU, won't change as a result of this agreement being ratified.
The European Commission has launched legal action, accusing the UK of breaching the agreement on Northern Ireland trade and breaking international law - charges Downing Street denies.
