Some measures at EU level are required to adapt the EU’s legal framework to the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020.
These adaptations may be “readiness measures” (i.e. measures to be adopted in any case); or measures to implement the Withdrawal Agreement, including the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.
In terms of legal form, these measures may be legislative acts adopted by the EU co-legislators, delegated acts, implementing acts, or other measures.
Below you will find a list of measures published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
