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.
Ettepanek esitatakse 27 liikmesriigile, sest 29. märtsil 2017 sai Euroopa Ülemkogu Ühendkuningriigilt teate tema kavatsuse kohta astuda välja Euroopa Liidust ja Euratomist Euroopa Liidu lepingu artikli 50 kohaselt.
