The UK and the European Union have reached a post-Brexit trade agreement just days before the deadline to avert1 a "no-deal" scenario2 that would have sparked economic chaos3 and risked major disruption to the flow of goods.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the agreement is a "good deal" for the "whole of Europe."
"A comprehensive Canada-style free trade deal between the UK and the EU. A deal that will protect jobs across this country, a deal that will allow UK goods and components4 to be sold without tariffs5 and without quotas6 in the EU market. A deal which will, if anything, allow our companies and our exporters to do even more business with our European friends."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed that the deal is fair and balanced, but signaled that the bloc8 had the upper hand in the negotiations9.
"As we knew in any case, if there would have been a hard Brexit it would have not have been good for both sides, but it would have hit the United Kingdom harder than the European Union with all its might of 450 million citizens, and therefore from a position of strength we were able to come forward with the most comprehensive agreement we've ever had."
EU leaders, the European parliament, and the UK government will all need to approve the agreement on their own.

“英国和欧盟之间将达成一项综合的加拿大式自由贸易协议。该协议将保护英国各地的就业机会，这项协议将使英国商品在欧盟市场上销售时免关税和免配额。这项协议将允许我国的企业与我们的欧洲朋友做更多的生意。”
