FAQ
The deal includes provisions for trade, fishing rights, and security, such as the removal of the EU ban on UK chilled meat exports, eGate access for British travelers, and maintaining current fishing quotas without change for 12 years.
The deal allows British tourists to use fast-track eGates at European airports, reducing wait times. Additionally, pet owners will no longer need health certificates for pets traveling to Europe.
