EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT PLENARY / United kingdom
MEPs endorse agreement on orderly Brexit
Brussels, 29/01/2020 (Agence Europe)

It was in a particularly emotionally charged climate, both negative and positive, punctuated by tears and the Scottish song 'Auld Lang Syne' ('It's only goodbye') that MEPs gave the final green light to the UK's exit from the EU on the evening of Wednesday 29 January in Brussels.

Called upon to ratify the withdrawal agreement that will allow the country’s orderly exit on 31 January at midnight, they voted overwhelmingly in favour of the agreement by 621 votes to 49, with 13 abstentions.
