    The implication of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) for the automotive sector

    On 24 December 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom concluded the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the other part (the “TCA”), which is provisionally applied from 1 January 2021. The TCA forms the basis of the new bilateral relationship between the EU and the UK.
