In July, May had introduced a “White Book” in which it proposed primarily creating a free trade zone with the EU, relying on a community of common rules concerning goods and agro food sector.

The departure of Great Britain from the EU is scheduled for March 30th, 2019. London and Brussels are expected to reach an agreement by October to organise their division and lay the groundwork for future relations.
