The European Parliament has approved the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the EU and UK. 660 MEPs voted in favour, five voted against and 32 MEPS abstained from voting. The announcement was made by the President of the European Parliament David Sassoli this morning. While the Agreement has been provisionally applied since 1 January 2021, the Treaty will enter force once the European Council has concluded it by 30 April. The UK have already voted in favour of the Agreement.
