The UK is currently in a transition period under which it must follow most EU regulations, following its legal withdrawal from the bloc on 31 January. <\/p>\n

Both sides exchanged legal text on a future trade deal in March<\/a>. After the negotiations this week, a fourth round of talks is scheduled to begin on 1 June. <\/p>\n

Under the UK’s withdrawal agreement<\/a> with the EU, both sides currently have until 31 December to ratify a trade deal and rules for future co-operation. <\/p>\n

An extension to the December deadline should be made by the UK-EU “joint committee” overseeing the agreement by 1 July. <\/p>\n

Opposition parties including the Liberal Democrats and the SNP have both called on the UK government to extend the transition period beyond December. <\/p>\n

Shortly after becoming Labour leader last month, Sir Keir Starmer said the UK should prolong talks beyond December if “necessary to do so”.<\/p>\n

He added that the December deadline was “going to be very, very tight,” and he thought it “unlikely” the government would finish talks in time. <\/p>\n

But the government insists it is committed to agreeing a deal by December 2020, and an extension would simply prolong disruption for businesses. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
