This proposal provides for a date of application as of 1 January 2021 and is presented for a Union of 27 Member States, in line with the notification by the United Kingdom of its intention to withdraw from the European Union and Euratom based on Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union received by the European Council on 29 March 2017.
Ehdotus koskee 27 jäsenvaltion unionia, sillä Yhdistynyt kuningaskunta ilmoitti 29. maaliskuuta 2017 Eurooppa-neuvostolle aikomuksestaan erota Euroopan unionista ja Euratomista Euroopan unionista tehdyn sopimuksen 50 artiklan mukaisesti.
