The newly announced EU-UK deal signifies a pivotal shift in post-Brexit relations, introducing various agreements that streamline travel for Britons in Europe. Key features include allowing British tourists to use eGates for easier passport control, improving pet travel regulations, and a commitment for the UK to rejoin the Erasmus+ exchange program. Additionally, a broader framework encompassing defense collaboration and joint geopolitical efforts to support Ukraine is also established. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer highlight this agreement's potential for creating a constructive future.
Although there are no set dates for when these arrangements become effective, the UK and the European Commission have agreed to proceed 'swiftly'.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this was 'a historic moment' and the chance to open a 'new chapter' in relations.
A 'youth experience' scheme, a promise the UK will re-join the EU's Erasmus+ exchange programme and a move to allow Britons travelling to use eGates at passport control are among the terms of a deal.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: 'It's time to look forward... to find common sense, practical solutions which get the best for the British people.'
