Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said the signing of the agreement between the European Union and Britain was a milestone event and was great news for hundreds of thousands of citizens
The United Kingdom and the EU reached a trade agreement on Brexit on December 24, to take effect from January 1, 2021. The agreement document, which includes 2,000 pages, must be ratified by the British parliament. The meeting is expected to be held on December 30. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stressed that the agreement reached was a great deal that sets the stage for a long-term partnership.
“After several years (of negotiations), the Brexit process is almost complete. This is a historic moment for the EU and the UK. Brexit with an agreement is great news for hundreds of thousands of people and businesses. I hope that by the end of the year all EU member states will be able to review and approve the agreement so that it can be effective from 1.1.2021,” Babis wrote on Twitter.
A spokesman for Czech President Miloš Zeman, Jiří Ovčáček, had previously indicated that the president would not comment on the agreement between the EU and the UK.
