Summary/Abstract: The withdrawal agreement is regarded as the best way to ensure a clean Brexit, as it includes the United Kingdom’s withdrawal conditions, taking into account the framework of its future relationship with The Union. The withdrawal agreement project between the European Union and the United Kingdom is the document that puts into juridical terms The Joint Statement from the negotiators of the European Union and of the United Kingdom Government of December 2017, with respect to the first stage of negotiations. Any agreement for withdrawal is signed on behalf of the Union by the Council, and after receiving the agreement of the European Parliament. The agreement negotiated by the Prime Minister Theresa May with Brussels was rejected three times by the British Parliament and contested by many British politicians. Several members of the Government in London resigned in protest of this agreement, including the Minister for Brexit, which led to a political deadlock. After the changes occurred at the level of the EU institutions, further to the EU parliament elections of May 2019, the United Kingdom is trying through its new leaders to obtain certain concessions in the exit agreement, but it is expected that the new team at the head of the European Union shall oppose any renegotiation of the Brexit agreement.
