The UK joined the European Economic Community – which would later become the European Union (EU) – in 1973. The UK formally left the EU on 31 January 2020.

​​​​​​​The relationship between the EU and the United Kingdom has evolved significantly since Brexit. Following the 2024 UK general election, the new government called for a ‘reset’ in relations with the EU, launching a renewed agenda of structured political cooperation across shared priorities.

The European Parliament closely follows the implementation of the agreements with the UK.
