The European Commission approved the draft agreement on Brexit, the EU Chief Negotiator, Michel Barnier told reporters.

According to him, the sides should speed up to successfully complete the Brexit process.

The United Kingdom will no longer be a member state of the European Union on March 30, 2019, said Chief Negotiator, adding that the sides should finally come to a final agreement on the Brexit.

The draft Withdrawal Agreement consists of six parts – including introductory provisions, citizens’ rights, other separation issues such as goods placed on the market before the withdrawal date, the financial settlement, transitional arrangements, and institutional provisions – and a protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland.
