The Council of the European Union has formally requested the European Parliament’s consent to its decision on the conclusion of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), and associated agreements reached between the EU and UK at the end of the Brexit transition period. The European Parliament’s consent will pave the way for the Council’s adoption of the decision on the final conclusion of the agreements, marking the last steps in the EU’s ratification of the agreements and allowing their full entry into force. In the meantime, following its adoption, the TCA Partnership Council’s decision extending provisional application of the TCA until 30 April 2021 entered into force on 26 February 2021. The decision has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
