The UK and EU agree terms for Brexit transition period
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43456502
he UK and EU have agreed on a "large part" of the agreement that will lead to the "orderly withdrawal" of the UK.
The EU's Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said the two sides had agreed on a transition period, calling the announcement a "decisive step".
He spoke after meeting with the UK's Brexit secretary David Davis.
The transitional period will begin from Brexit day - 29 March, 2019 - and is designed to smooth the path to the future permanent relationship.
Mr Barnier said there was also an agreement on the rights of 4.5m EU citizens in the UK and the 1.2m UK citizens in the EU after Brexit.
But he said more work still needed to be done on important subjects including the Northern Ireland border.
Both the UK and the EU hope the terms of an agreement on the transitional period can be signed off by Theresa May's fellow leaders at the EU summit this week.
Mr Barnier said the new draft legal text marks a "decisive step" but added that it was "not the end of the road".
"We have reached an agreement on the transition period," Mr Barnier told a press conference in Brussels. "The transition will be of limited duration."
Mr Davis said the move provided further certainty for businesses and had agreed safeguards for fishing quotas during the transition period.
Among other issues the two sides have had to negotiate for the transition period have been what role the European Court of Justice has in the UK, whether the UK can negotiate future trade deals with non-EU countries as well as the continuing issues of Gibraltar post-Brexit.
BBC Europe Editor Katya Adler said the issues of the Northern Ireland border and Gibraltar have the potential "to bring the whole Brexit deal down".
Adrian O'Neill, Ireland's ambassador to the UK, says it is crucial both sides make progress on the border issue, while Gibraltar's chief minister Fabian Picardo has expressed confidence that it will be included in the planned Brexit transition deal.
The UK and EU hope that if a transition deal is agreed negotiations can focus on what sort of permanent future relationship the UK and EU will have - with the aim of a deal being agreed in the autumn to allow time for EU member states and the UK Parliament to ratify it before Brexit next March.

Transition ends New Year’s Eve 2020, three months earlier than expected.
Britain will be able to negotiate, sign and ratify trade deals during the transition period
Just not with the EU?
We will have one in place well before then... obviously.

It's all been agreed! Can all the thread be closed now and all these experts get back to talking about football?

Well, apart from the minor Irish border issue.
It is plain that the only practical solution is the Irish Sea border with NI.
Unfortunately, May's Magic Money Tree doesn't have enough Bribe Blossom to pay for that.

Err, nothing wrong with that.... but they haven't opted to do so, and there is no indication they want to.

Nice picture,but if you had bothered to actually read my post,I did say 'leaving',not left,so your point is?
Talking of nice pics,I finally found one of a german Red Arrow.
Is that the one with the VW diesel engine?

So yours is not the only solution.Nor is the border remaining as it is at the moment.I'm sure we would bung Little Leo a few Euros to keep the balance between Ulster and the Republic happy.

Why does my post imply that "mine" isn't the only solution ?
It seems a "bung" won't solve it either....
