As the mid-November limit approaches, Daniel Ferrie, spokesman for the European Commission, announced last week that the EU executive is “working hard to reach an agreement”.

This new round of negotiations is considered one of the last opportunities to reach a commercial agreement between the two parties.

Mid-November is the deadline for reaching an agreement that must be ratified before it enters into force on January 1st. janeiro 2021, when the transition period ends after the UK formally left the European bloc.

The leaders of the 27 EU member states have a virtual summit, scheduled for the 19th, to discuss the pandemic covid-19. For now, the theme of Brexi it’s not on the agenda.

In a no deal scenario (no deal) until the end of the year, trade between the UK and the 27 EU member states is now governed by the rules of the World Trade Organization, with imposition, i.e., customs duties and import and export limits.
