EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement

The Book
In force since 1 May 2021, the Trade and Cooperation Agreement is the central legal text governing post-Brexit relations between the UK and the EU. In essence, it is an ambitious "free trade plus" agreement that regulates economic issues, but also addresses a wealth of non-trade aspects. A thorough examination of the regulatory structures, content and contentious issues of the TCA is of major conceptual and practical importance.
The present Handbook provides such a thorough examination and serves as a guide to the often complex provisions of the agreement and as a roadmap to an unwieldy agreement. To meet those aims, it offers an analysis of the TCA's individual chapters, matching the agreement's broad scope, from trade to data protection (and covering much in between). In addition to analysing the agreement's individual chapters, this TCA Handbook situates the new legal framework of UK-EU relations from the perspective of international law, European Union law and UK law.
