The UK and the European Union have reached a significant new agreement covering trade, defence, fishing, and energy, but key negotiations are still ongoing. Critical issues, such as the financial contributions expected from the UK and the specifics of youth mobility schemes, remain unresolved. The UK will likely make financial contributions to benefit from reduced checks on food exports, though the exact amounts are still unclear. Furthermore, a youth experience scheme is proposed to allow mutual visa access, with details about the number of visas and their duration pending negotiations.
The deal makes several references to a "financial contribution" from the UK to access certain benefits, notably an agreement to reduce checks on food exports to the EU.
The government has said any such deal would be "capped and time-limited" but it has not specified how many visas could be issued annually and how long they would be valid for.
