This checklist aims to help EU companies doing business in the United Kingdom (UK) and/or UK companies doing business in the EU to double-check their state of readiness for 1 January 2021.
It provides an overview of the main areas of change that will take place in any event as of 1 January 2021–irrespective of whether an agreement is reached on a future economic and security partnership. It addresses the most common issues and should not be considered to be exhaustive.
Additional guidance can be found in the Commission Communication ‘Getting ready for changes’,1 as well as
in sectoral stakeholder ‘readiness notices’ published by the Commission services and available here:
