Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a comprehensive new agreement between the UK and the EU, calling it as a "win-win" for both parties, according to BBC.
Under the agreement, British tourists will be allowed to use e-Gates while traveling across the EU, reducing long lines at border check. In the fisheries sector, the current agreement will be maintained, with EU fishing vessels granted continuing access to UK seas until 2038.
On trade, the agreement reduces restrictions on UK food and drink exports, making it easier for British items like burgers and sausages to be marketed in the EU.
Additionally, the deal includes a new defence and security pact, granting the UK access to the EU’s €175bn SAFE fund, which supports joint defence projects, BBC reported.
The agreement signals a major step forward in redefining UK-EU relations in the post-Brexit landscape.
