The United Kingdom (UK) was a member state of the European Union and of its predecessor the European Communities from 1 January 1973 until 31 January 2020 (European Union, 2020). The UK formally left the EU on 31 January 2020 and entered into an 11-month transition period. During this period, the UK will continue to follow all of the EU’s rules and its trading relationship will remain the same.
