The European Parliament will need to approve any  agreement regarding the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

When voting, members will check if the   Parliament's red lines have been respected:

The negotiations should be conducted  in good faith and full transparency

There can be no trade-off between security  and the future economic relationship

The peace process must  continue in Northern Ireland

and a hard border with the  Republic of Ireland avoided

The UK must honour all obligations it has committed  to, including those related to the budget

The outlines of the future EU-UK  relationship can only be discussed 

once substantial progress has been  made on talks on how the UK will leave

No cherry-picking: membership of the  single market is only possible

with free movement of goods,  capital, services and people

There can be no separate negotiations  with individual EU countries or non-EU countries

Members adopted the Parliament's priorities  for the start of the negotiations with an  overwhelming majority: 516 out of 751
