Reuters reported that the text of the agreement include:

  • EU and UK “agree to develop an ambitious, wide-ranging and balanced economic partnership.”
  • “This partnership will be comprehensive, encompassing a free trade area as well as wider sectoral cooperation … will be underpinned by provisions ensuring a level playing field.”
